Since May 2017, the Junior Class Officers, President Ignacio Roman, Vice President Magaly Avila, Secretary Chelcy Salvador, Treasurer Jimmy Claassen, ASB Treasurer Shane McGuffin, with the help of the Junior Class Advisors Joy Brunner and Jenny Martinez have been planning the Saturday night. The junior class approximately spent 25,000 dollars to make Prom 2018 on April 28 possible.

Since freshman year the now junior class have conducted numerous fundraisers to help fund Prom. To get a good venue they had to book the Rava Winery a year in advance for 9,000 dollars. An hour estimate is hard to give because the planning has been in effect since last May.

“The logistical factors add up with the financial factors that spend up the majority of our weekly Wednesday lunch meetings in Mrs. Brunner’s classroom. We went out to the venue, Rava Winery, itself about 6 times in advance to know exactly how we physically wanted prom to look like. Saturday morning, me, Chelcy Salvador, Magaly Avila, as well as the advisors, spent around 3 hours setting things up with the Freestyle Event Services people that we hired,” said McGuffin.

Through hard work and dedication the upperclassmen of PRHS had an elegant night full of dancing and memories.

“Considering all the time we put in, we felt good knowing we used our time wisely to think of every little detail to make prom night as memorable as possible. When I first got to prom, it looked like how I had imagined it in my dreams, which is absolutely fantastic. Lots of hard work paid off, and all I’ve heard is positive feedback,” exclaimed McGuffin joyfully.
