As ‘Goldbergs’ and ‘Schooled’ do prom episodes, ABC sends Penn Charter seniors a ‘prom in a box’

The fictional school featured on the two network shows is modeled on the Philadelphia private school that creator Adam F. Goldberg attended. For one senior, the connection runs deeper: Her mother is a recurring character on "Schooled."

On Tuesday afternoon, William Penn Charter senior Anne Flemming wears a crown and sash from a "prom in a box" she and other seniors at the school received as part of a promotion for the March 13 prom episodes of some ABC sitcoms, including "The Goldbergs" and its spin-off, "Schooled," whose fictional school, William Penn Academy, is based on Penn Charter.
