Prom is all about fashion and fun – girls putting their hair up and wearing formals and guys in tuxedos for the grand march and dance, and then letting their hair down for the activities at After-Prom. The theme this year for the Denison High School prom was “A Night of Mystery,” based on a masquerade motif.
Jose Santamaria and Genesis Rodriguez took the masquerade theme of the prom to heart and used these Venetian style masquerade masks as a prop.
Pictured are the king and queen of prom, Eddy Gutierrez and Brooklyn Winey. Everyone in the high school gym cheered for Gutierrez as he walked through grand march accompanied by Jocelyn Ramos on one side and his father on the other. Gutierrez was injured in a head-on collision in the high school parking lot last April.

Addison Inman shows off the comfortable shoes that match her dress – a pair of Nikes. Inman wasn’t the only young lady that chose the same style of footwear. Many girls did not, and some of them could be seen walking barefoot while holding their high heels after the grand march was over.
