Members of Law’s senior class and their guests had a blast at this year’s prom.

The event was held on May 26 at Villa Bianca in Seymour and was then followed by post-prom which was held at the Sports Center in Shelton. 

“I was so excited to finally get to have a prom,” Senior Lauren Davis said. “We have spent our whole high school careers looking at people going to prom and there was a lot of anticipation leading up to prom itself, seeing as ours had been postponed twice.”

All the students that attended prom were happy to have a “normal prom.”

“It became very clear that students and staff wanted everything to go ‘back to normal’,” Law Principal Mr. Darcy said. “The prom was included in those discussions and we decided a few months ago that if our school district restrictions lightened up and we were as safe as possible, we could have a real prom.”

The prom is an experience that every principal and staff member wishes each kid goes to in their high school years. “It’s a moment you will always remember,” Darcy said. 

“My favorite part about prom was seeing everyone all dressed up and dancing together,” Davis said. “Everyone had so much fun on the dance floor and it was such a good time.”

Since prom was originally supposed to be held last year, it was postponed to October 1. As the date changed, so did the planning. 

“Luckily for us, time was on our side,” senior class advisor Mrs. Fransisco said. “By ‘waiting it out’ we were lucky enough to have no restrictions at prom.”

The Class of 2021’s prom was held at Quassy Amusement Park, and this year that option was still on the table. But the class officers optioned to have a more traditional prom.

“My favorite part of prom was going to Sports Center after,” senior Lucia Pino said.

This was the first real event that this class was able to attend this year and it was a great experience. 

“I was very excited to finally have prom, because not being able to have one junior year had me looking forward to it this year,”’ senior Lucas Pincus-Coyle said.
