Summit Academy students came dressed in their best to celebrate at prom last month. They had a blast listening to music, dancing, and taking photos at the neon lights-themed event. Students also voted from their prom king and queen. The winners were Noah and Melanie! Thank you to our staff for making prom a special event for our students!
