MHS prom 2012

Prom decorations were candy-color bright to match the theme, "A Sweet Escape," for the 2012 Marshall High School prom. As always, MHS students came to prom in their best finery -- sparkly, poofy, flourescent -- and promenaded before a crowd of friends, parents and community members.

State Rep. Joe Aull again performed as emcee, announcing the names of each prom goer as they walked toward the Candyland-themed entry decorations at the east entrance to the high school. Aull has served as emcee for 11 years.

Overseeing his last prom at MHS was Principal Jeff Kramer, who is leaving the district at the end of the school year. Kramer marveled at the great community support for the kids, noting that MHS is the first place he's been where prom is really a community event.
