A Spectacular Parade Down the Red Carpet

The SHS Class of 2023 had their trip to the red carpet on Thursday night June 1, on the warmest day of the year to date.

They glowed and shimmered in sparkles and jewel tones of vibrant red, blues and greens. The more traditional couples had bowties and pocket handkerchiefs to match their dates' dresses. Others took it to a new level – wearing costumes worthy of the Met Gala or the Emmy’s. For the most part, senior girls wore long dresses while juniors sported short.

Make-up was also dazzling with lots of shine. Hair for the most part was worn loose and flowing and some chose to dye it in interesting hues.

Some had begun the festivities a few hours earlier at pre-prom gatherings at homes with professional photographers, making for a very long day of posing. 

It was a highly entertaining parade for the hundreds of parents, teachers, administrators, friends and community members who came out to view the dazzling spectacle, which was launched in 2003 and has grown to be a prized annual event.

After about an hour of photos, screams and hugs, the class lined up, walked the red carpet and boarded the buses for their 2023 Prom at the Glen Island Harbor Club.

What happened after that will likely remain unreported. But we heard some students had plans to head to Blue Midown, a club in the city, for post-prom parties and then out to summer houses and the Hamptons for celebratory weekends.
