After a two-year break, Prom finally returned to Jesuit. On Saturday, April 9th, Jesuit and Ursuline took the Dallas Market Center by storm, turning the venue into a crazy, lit movie from 7 PM to 10:30 PM. Overall, it was a huge success, and it is safe to say that students had a great time.
The night kicked off at 7 and students were expected to arrive no later than 7:30. A line of administrators greeted students at the doorway, and Jesuit students were able to introduce their dates and friends to the faculty members they know and love. After eating a great catered meal, students were able to turn up on the dance floor and let loose. A DJ was there to play everything from Cardi B to Sheck Wes. Students were able to dance the night away before being allowed to leave at 10. Seniors, who were attending their first prom, had a lot to say about the success of the dance.
