A top New York City high school will not be moving its prom date even though it falls during Ramadan.

Brooklyn Technical seniors are set to gather at Pier Sixty, billed as the largest waterfront venue in Manhattan, on June 3 for their big bash.

This year, the party falls during Ramadan, a month-long period of religious fasting and prayer for observant Muslims.

Practicing students petitioned the administration to change the date, but the request was denied.

The annual holy month requires that observers consume no food or drink between sunrise and sunset, and observant Muslim students petitioned the school (pictured), asking for a date change

The annual holy month requires that observers consume no food or drink between sunrise and sunset.

The Brooklyn Tech prom starts at 7pm - while the sun is still out.

A Department of Education spokesperson told CBS2 that because the dance was planned months in advance, it couldn't be rescheduled.

Some accommodations are being made for observant students, such as dinner being served at 9pm - well after sunset - so all students can eat.

However, Muslim seniors said it’s not just about food but other religious rules as well.

'Obviously the date wasn't the best date,' senior Pakeza Sahbbir, who will be not attending, told ABC7.

'You're not supposed to listen to music during Ramadan, so that's why it's not really allowed.'

A Change.org petition garnered more than 250 signatures, asking that the date be moved up by a week.

School officials say the prom at Pier Sixty in Manhattan (pictured) was scheduled months in advance and therefor couldn't be changed. But Principal David Newman said he met with the Muslim Student Association Tuesday to make sure this never happens again

Senior Pakeza Sahbbir (pictured) said the problem with the prom date is not just the food, but other religious rules. She said: 'You're not supposed to listen to music during Ramadan, so that's why it's not really allowed'

'A change to the date, even a week and a half earlier, would allow so many more people to partake. If no action is taken, Senior Prom truly wouldn't be open to every senior who wants to go,' it was written.

'I know how it feels to fast,' another student, Saima Afrin, said.

'I feel very tired throughout the day, so I won't want to go out. I'd sleep and stuff.'

The principal, David Newman, said he met with the Muslim Student Association Tuesday to make sure this never happens again.

Approximately 1,300 students go to Brooklyn Tech, but the school does not track religious affiliation.
