Prom Court

April 19, 2024

With spring coming up and Park’s prom just around the corner, we’d like to introduce our prom court:

Lucy Aderholt, Maya Collins, Kaylee Davis, Bailey Meredith, and Gabby Romanek

Luke Dunaway, Jared Marsh, Max Reasbeck, Evan Stingle, and Isaac Swoyer

The court was announced at the end of the day to the surprise of the nominees.

“I am excited about being on prom court because a lot of my friends are also on it! I love getting dressed up and taking pictures taken so that’s also something to look forward to,” said Bailey Meredith.

“I was surprised to be picked to be on prom court. It makes me very happy that my classmates voted for me and I am very grateful to be on it…to me it means that people think that I am a nice person,” said Meredith.

Meredith is also following in the footsteps of her family, “My mom was prom queen so that also makes me happy that I can say I was on court and can carry the tradition.”

Most of the court members were also on the homecoming court this fall.

“I am very excited for prom court, I am surprised to be on court because I thought you could only be on one court,” said Luke Dunaway. “It means a lot to me to be on prom court because it means that I had so many of my peers vote for me…I am very grateful and happy that I got voted for.”
