(PUEBLO, Colo.) — Central High School has a place for students with limited budgets to look like a “million bucks” come time for Prom, Homecoming, and other formal events.

Called ‘Catique,’ Pueblo School District 60 (D60) said, it was started after a sizeable donation of special occasion dresses by the mother of a Central student many years ago.

According to D60, Catique has grown to be filled with racks of evening wear, cocktail, and tea dresses, and for boys; suits, slacks, dress shirts, and other apparel.

The items are priced modestly, with exchanges welcomed.

D60 said, for families with limited funds, Catique has been a blessing, offering at low or no-cost, brand-new and like-new formal and similar wear, that normally cost hundreds of dollars off the rack.
