Dancing Under the Stars Prom 2021
Last Saturday
night local juniors and seniors danced the night away at Camp Walter Johnson at a parent sponsored, community hosted prom.
Thanks to the hard work of students, parents and organizers along with the generosity of our local business the night was
indeed one to remember.
As is traditional the night was full of fun, laughter, food, photos
and of course crowning of the prom King and Queen. This year those honors went to Avery Garner and Lillian Barker. Gloria
Villegas was crowned Princess and Joseph A. Smith was named Prince. In addition, honors for Best Dressed girl went to Alaina
Thompson and Best dressed boy to Jaden Surratt. Cathrine English and Colton Greene were voted Cutest couple.
