Prom Red Carpet Photo Gallery

The Scarsdale High School Senior Prom was a memorable experience for everyone. After months of preparation and hype, students came together in formal attire for the dance on June 4th. The day began at pre-pre prom, at around 3 P.M., where groups of students each gathered at various houses to take photos with family and friends. Next, came pre-prom at the high school, where all seniors and their dates accumulated at the high school for more pictures, and then a walk down the red carpet on to the Coach busses that took the students to prom at VIP Country Club in New Rochelle.

Tradition has it that senior girls wear long dresses while underclassman go short. Prom dresses were colorful this year - ranging from soft pastels to deep azure and bright red, oranges and greens. Hair styles featured updo's, many with elaborate curls.

Prom itself was a blast for everyone--between dancing, eating, taking pictures, and enjoying the nice weather and view from the balcony. Though there were many high school chaperones, they only added to the fun by chatting with students and even taking to the dance floor themselves. As the busses brought students back to the high school shortly after 11 P.M., many asked themselves: were the months of preparation and work for the night worth it? I think almost everyone would agree: yes!

Unfortunately, the prom wasn't all smooth sailing.  Following the prom, one of the coach buses broke down en route to Scarsdale High School, delaying the return trip. When the other buses detoured to help out the stuck passengers, everyone was held up. Some continued the night at a post prom party at the Copacabana Club in New York City, where the club management was vigilant. Bouncers patted everyone down, inspected bags and purses and turned away a few who had too much to drink.

Here are a few quotes from the SHS Class of 2015:

SHS Senior Henry Kline
"Having been in government for all of high school, it was really great to see everyone enjoying themselves at a school event! I was able to spend time with all of my friends and it was amazing to see the whole grade come together."

SHS Senior Jon Greenberg
"I thought the prom was a success. It seemed that most people were having a really good time and the venue was nice. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves."

SHS Senior Isabel Klein
"Prom was, well, as fun as a high school dance can be. And honestly, it turned out it was pretty fun. There was nothing but good vibes at the dance and a kind of infectious positive spirit. The DJ was great about respecting song request and played a ton of great hits from our middle school and elementary school years , which got everyone excited. A highlight was when someone requested "Hava Nagila" and the whole grade danced the hora and even lifted some students up on chairs (only in Sacrsdale, right?!) I'm not sure if it was worth the hours of Hollywood star-like preparation, but it was definitely fun to dress up and just dance."

SHS Senior Alan Zhong
"Prom was a huge bar mitzvah in all seriousness; although I'm not sure if I'm impressed or disappointed with it. Part of prom is the buildup and with all the preparation and drama that went into it I can understand why some people might have been let down. But because I went last year I knew to keep my expectations low. "

SHS Senior Lindsay Kim
"I thought the venue was really beautiful and I really liked how we were able to go outside easily. I had a lot of fun. However, I didn't really like the DJ. He played a lot of rap songs/songs with just a beat that was hard to dance to."

SHS Senior Geoffrey Fitzgerald
"I thought the event went really well, and it was nice to see the entire Senior class together again.  We have been out of school for a few weeks now, so it was nice to get to see everyone from classes, and to see everyone enjoying themselves."
