Principal Dr. Delores Mallard and Assistant Principal David Edwards welcomed all the students, along with several other teachers.
The guys in their tuxes and girls in their formal dresses all socialized and danced throughout the night, until parents began to show up at around 10.
At this time, emotions were felt and tears shed as the proud parents watched each of their graduating children make the Senior Walk with their escort.
Math teacher Christie Nevil introduced the seniors and then introduced the Junior Prince and Princess and the Senior King and Queen.
The junior royalty was prince Ricky Rivera and princess Liz Schwab, while the king of the prom was Matt Crivello and the queen was Brea Ferry.
After the formalities, all the kids were back on the dance floor and sitting at tables, remembering their past and talking about their futures.
