Students having a good time at Prom Night 2019, the last time “Teen Times” hosted the annual event.
PHILIPSBURG--The Class of 2022 is preparing to attend their once-in-a-lifetime Prom Night.
The young team of youth publication Teen Times is excited to be able to once again host Prom Night after a
two-year absence due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Prom Night 2022, under an Egyptian theme, “Pearls and Pyramids” will be held on Sunday, June 26.
The event is a very formal affair exclusively for the senior examination students at Milton Peters College (MPC), St. Dominic High School, St. Maarten Vocational Training School, St. Maarten Academy PSVE, St. Maarten Academy, Sundial School, Learning Unlimited, Methodist Agogic Centre-Comprehensive Secondary Education (MAC-CSE) and Caribbean International Academy (CIA).
Prom Night gives these seniors the opportunity to have one last great time with their school mates before they go their separate ways to further their studies or into the workplace.
According to Teen Times, “it is just one big formal party with some activities in between, organised to bring the curtain down on their high schools years in style.”
This year, the décor at Prom Night will carry a distinct Egyptian atmosphere as Teen Times goes all out annually on its décor. “Our themes, as everyone knows, change every year. It doesn’t mean that students have to dress to match the theme, but we don’t discourage it either,” said Teen Times.
“What is a Prom? A Prom is one night where students create a lifetime of memories. We provide the venue, music, snacks and ambiance. They simply have to bring the fun and the Prom spirit. That is all. They have to create their own fun. And judging from how Prom has grown over the past 26 years, our students have fully grasped the idea of Prom Night,” Teen Times added.
Central to Prom Night is the crowning of a Prom King and Queen, a Prom Prince and Princess, Best Couple, Best Dressed girl and boy and much more. Teen Times also gives a prize to the “Best Arrival” at Prom which has become a spectacle in and of itself. Entrance to prom Night 2022 is US $20 per student.
