Marquette Catholic Principal Tim Harman said he thought the Student Council and other school volunteers and Beth DeCourcey did a wonderful job with the prom.
“Beth DeCourcey spearheaded the entire effort,” he said. “The junior and senior parents also did a ton of work and organized some fantastic prizes for the kids. They made sure every kid received something.”
Preston Stork, Marquette Student Council President, said the night started with a catered dinner, followed by dancing until 10:15 p.m. Saturday, then Edison’s also hosted an after-prom.
“We were served pizza and played laser tag, bowled and played a variety of games,” he said. “It was great fun. I think the seniors really enjoyed it as almost a going-away, last celebrations.”
The prizes for everyone were excellent, he said. “One person received a flat-screen TV,” he added. “I received air-pods which was very fun.”
