“This is one of the only times when you’re going to have a really nice dinner and meal,” Student Council adviser Bernette Lindamood said. “If you miss it, you’re going to be sad 20 years from now that you missed your prom.”
This year’s prom theme is “Under the Lantern Sky.” The event will offer a 360 Live Video Booth, a regular photo booth and a professional DJ, as well as dinner and dessert. Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. The menu will include salad, bread, entree and a dessert.
In order to enter, prom students need to show a legal or school ID and their prom ticket. Nominations for prom king and queen will be available at the entrance for attendees to vote. Prom royalty will be announced that night at 7:45 p.m.
“Prom is a big part of your high school experience,” junior class president Luca Bella Francis said. “It’s a good opportunity to just have fun with your friends and peers.”
After 9 p.m., students will no longer be allowed to enter prom. Prom attendance has always been a large population of students, and StuCo hopes to keep it up this year as well.
“I’m excited because it’s my first time going to prom, and I think it’s a great way to end senior year,” senior Nohemi Reyes said. “Just a night of having fun.”
