Courier Reporter Allie Wolfe interviews students in a ‘red carpet’ fashion as they enter prom.

As the sun set, and the night began anew, juniors and seniors walked their way through the grand doors of the Valencia Ballroom, preparing for a night they’re sure to never forget. 

 Students donned their grand outfits and headed straight to York to enter the Valencia Ballroom, where music, food and a dance floor were prepared for prom on Friday, May 2.

Four individuals were crowned prom king, queen, prince and princess. Prom king Caleb Ross, prom queen Mackenzie Hodge, prom princess Anna Hombach, and Prom Prince Chandler Tindle all won the respective titles’ crown.

A lot of planning went into making sure prom would coordinate well. English teacher Kelly Porter served as the main adviser in charge of planning. 

“My role is all of the planning,  and the organization that goes into it, so everything from working with my junior class advisers to design a poster to choose the theme, the colors and making those optic decisions,” Porter said. ”… I sort of help facilitate… coordinating ticket sales, communicating with the students and parents.”

Senior Joe Brady believes that prom is an important experience for students.

“It’s honestly just a fun social interaction,” Brady said. “So those people that really don’t go out and don’t do much can come out with their friends and have a good time without really having to be judged by anyone else.”
