Prom means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For some, it is a special night with a significant other; for others, it is a chance to cut loose on the dance floor, take advantage of some good food, dress up very nicely, and have a fun night with friends. For all, though, Prom is an unforgettable evening that commemorates a great year of high school, a night that we will remember for the rest of our lives.
With that being said, NCSSM's Prom is always an above-and-beyond effort. From the administrators to the Student Activities Board and Jennifer Ashe, to the bus-loop drivers Prom is the result of a lot of effort from a lot of different people. The Prom is actually had at Museum of Life and Science in downtown Durham, a unique venue that has great science-y experiments to toy around with as well as great photo opportunities and a neat nighttime butterfly garden for Prom-mers to investigate. Many prom groups also make runs out to beautiful Duke Gardens or other parks just before the Prom to take nice group pictures just as the gardens are first blooming for spring. There are also no shortage of delicious places to eat dinner, whether it be Brightleaf Square, the American Tobacco District, Downtown Durham, Southpoint, or 9th Street.
After Prom, furthermore, NCSSM actually hosts an event called "After Prom", which is held in the PEC and features bouncy houses, inflatable twister, inflatable obstacle courses, movies, and a hot breakfast- all free for students. After Prom runs from 2-5am and by the end of it just about everyone is ready to sleep for the next 24 hours or so. Unfortunately for us we do go to NCSSM and as a result homework is not in shortage.. so the Sunday after Prom usually hits pretty hard.
Below, please enjoy a few pictures of First Hunt (plus a few others) at Prom 2015- a night we'll never forget!
