Schools

Prom Night in the Two Towns

The annual rite of passage brought seniors—and a few invited juniors—out in style across South Orange and Maplewood.

Columbia High School seniors attended prom on Tuesday night. Girls and boys walked the red carpet in Grove Park (where a disturbance was reported later in the evening) and gathered in groups at neighborhood houses for their pre-prom photo ops. Patch has a photographer and videographer out to cover it all, but we welcome your pictures. This photo featured here—of Columbia track stars Brittney Jackson and Jared Williams—comes to us courtesy of Brittney's proud pop, Thomas Jackson.

We also have a slew of photos taken by Joy Yagid from the pre-prom gathering at Joel Brown-Christenson's house in South Orange.
