Teenagers celebrated the end of exams and a new chapter in their life by letting their hair down on Thursday night.
The youngsters gathered in their dressed and suits at Croft Gardens on the Headland for photos before getting down to the serious partying at Hardwick Hall in Sedgefield.
The Mail will be bringing you more great photos from all our schools proms in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on hartlepoolmail.co.uk and the paper in shops every Thursday.
