The senior class enjoyed an "Enchanted Forest" prom organized in their honor on Saturday, April 17. Prior to Grand March, members of the Class of 2021 had their portrait taken by Jenna Weisenburger, from right to left- front row: Dani Bjerke, Chloe Heinz, Cassie Longnecker and Chloe Guthmiller; back row: Kayahna Hopfauf, Hunter Johnson, Stephen Merrick, John Grann, Koven Walford, Alex Harrison and Evan Ulrich.
Members of the junior class who attended Prom 2021 are pictured above (from left to right)- back row: Alyssa Thumb, Michael Songer, Hunter Jacobson, Nicholas Berglund, Josh Homiston, Caden Price, Koby Duda, Matthew Duchscherer and Emma Jans; middle row: secretary Kennedy Demester, Kaden Jensen, vice president Andrew Presnell and Maria Becker; front row: Macey Wobbema, Mya Cudworth, Briana Kenjockety and Delana Thomas.
Seniors Kayahna Hopfauf and Koven Walford got their chance to step out in their 2020 prom wear to remember the prom they missed.
Junior Delana Thomas arrived in this gorgeous floor-length floral number that blended perfectly with the Enchanted Forest theme. She was escorted to the affair by junior Nicholas Berglund, dressed to impress in his sharp black suit and burgundy tie.
Sophomore Jordan Everett ditched his typical western wear for a traditional black suit and powder blue tie. His date, Mary Rude, wore a baby blue ball gown with lace detail.
Koby Duda opted for a gray tuxedo, and date Kiara Olson stunned in an off-the-shoulder floral gown.
During the second walk through, prom goers have the opportunity to show off their personalities a little more. This year juniors Kaden Jensen and Kennedy Demester opted to take a walk in each other's clothes! Jensen pranced around in Demester's black two-piece gown, on the arm of his "sharp dressed (wo)man."
osh Homiston and Andrew Presnell brought out their best impersonations of 45th President Donald Trump and 46th President Joe Biden.
Senior Alex Harrison carried classmate Stephen Merrick down the aisle.
After a hiatus from the annual gala last year due to the pandemic, the Class of 2022 worked hard to put together a magical scene for Prom 2021. The scene in the NR-S gymnasium on Saturday, April 21 was charming and entrancing, from the vine-wrapped arbors and stone fountain to the handmade paper maché trees and enchanted tulle waterfall. There were 22 couples in attendance, as well as six singles.
The Grand March began promptly at 8 o'clock that evening, with junior vice president Andrew Presnell and his date Maria Becker leading the procession.
