Mt. Pulaski Prom Goes from the Courthouse Steps to “Under the Sea”

[May 04, 2026]    

On Saturday, approximately 70 students participated in the prom grand march. Friends and family gathered outside on the courthouse lawn to watch their loved ones walk down the courthouse steps. It was a cool evening, with a slight breeze, as the sun began to set over the courthouse. After all the prom goers exited the courthouse, they announced members of the prom court.

Prom court members were Meridith Nixon, Franklin Wade, Alyson Murphy, Jaeden Jackson, Brooke St. James, Eric Cooper, Addison Maus, Aaron Kuznik, and Elayna Marten. Prom King and Queen were announced later in the evening. Alyson Murphy was crowned as Queen, and Eric Cooper as King.

Then, they greeted their family and friends and took pictures around the courthouse, on the square, and on the gazebo by the courthouse. Some students took pictures in their convertibles.

After the Grand March, attendees headed to Prom at the American Legion Hall, where the theme was “Under the Sea”. Prom lasted until 10:00p.m., and then students were welcomed at the high school for post-prom, where there was an array of gift baskets and prizes.
