As the school year begins to wind down, one of the most anticipated nights for every senior is prom. Senior Prom will take place on May 16, and this year’s event promises to be a night to remember.
Prom will be held at a brand-new location compared to last year, located at the Top of the Bay at Aberdeen Proving Ground. The event will run from 6-10 p.m. and will feature the theme “Golden Hour,” setting the tone for a classy and picture-perfect evening. Tickets are priced at $60, which is moderately affordable, especially considering that C. Milton Wright hosted multiple fundraisers and events to help lower the cost. Which helped ensure that more students and their guests can attend and fully enjoy the experience.
Aberdeen Proving Ground is a well-known venue for receptions, weddings, and special events. Its waterfront location offers stunning views of the bay, making it an ideal spot for photos with friends or a date. With the “Golden Hour” theme, the setting will provide the perfect backdrop for capturing those unforgettable moments as the sun begins to set.
Although the final menu is still being decided by members of SCC, there are already plenty of exciting options to look forward to. The evening will begin with a spread of fresh fruits and vegetables for appetizers. From there, students can enjoy a variety of food stations, including options like meatballs (BBQ, Swedish, or sweet and sour), cheesesteak rolls, quiche, and spanakopita. Additional choices include either a mac and cheese bar or a mashed potato bar, as well as a chicken tender bar or slider bar. To top it all off, the venue
will offer a dessert station, sodas, and specialty drinks such as blueberry lavender and strawberry lemon.
Staff, teachers, and SCC students have been working hard to bring this event together and make it special for the senior class. My best friend, Leana Cortez, a member of SCC who attended prom last year, shared that she is especially excited about the new location and is looking forward to taking pictures with the water.
With a beautiful venue, a thoughtful theme, and plenty of food and fun to enjoy, Senior Prom 2026 is expected to be a memorable way to celebrate the end of high school. As the big night approaches, excitement continues to build not just for the event itself, but for the chance to create lasting memories with friends before graduation. And of course, it will be just as exciting to see all the sharp suits and beautiful dresses that will make the night shine.
