Juniors excitedly waited at the high school for their magic carpets to arrive—this year, in the form of chartered buses. Although many were disappointed at not being able to ride in limos, the buses were a surprising success.

“There was confusion over what time the buses were supposed to come,” assistant principal Karen Hyde said. “The students had to wait a little but I think that was the only problem we faced.”

Students piled onto five buses conveniently. They got to pick which bus they wanted to get on and had to get on the same bus after prom.

“I was a little disappointed we didn’t get to ride in limos this year,” junior Rachel Le said. “But the prom buses were good because they were a lot cheaper and there wasn’t any drama involved.”

On April 23, 260 students attended junior prom at the Corinthian in San Jose.
