The Coastal Cotillion was established to educate and enlighten the young women in the Flour Bluff, Padre Island, and London community about the social and educational opportunities available as they complete their senior year in high school. Activities through the Coastal Cotillion support young women to develop their social skills as they pursue post-graduation educational goals and professional careers.
As the Coastal Cotillion year has progressed, the debutantes have participated in social training activities, been provided expert guidance through guest speakers, developed their social skills, and enhanced their resumes as they work toward graduation. The Coastal Cotillion is open to any senior high school girl in Flour Bluff, Padre Island, and London districts. The next Coastal Cotillion Event will be the Christmas Ornament Exchange on December 8th, 2024. The Presentation Ball will be held in February 2024 at the Emerald Beach – Downtown.
