The Senior class will have a King and Queen. A list will be provided with the names of seniors that have purchased prom tickets . No one will receive this honor unless they are a paid attendant of the prom . The Senior boy and girl with the most votes will carry this honor! The Prom King and Queen will be crowned immediately following the Senior Walk. Upon entering the Prom, a special song will be played for the King and Queen dance.
The ACHS administration and faculty will be present before, during, and after the prom. Parents will not be asked to serve as chaperones for the prom . No one will be allowed into the Designated Prom Area except for prom attendants and chaperones. Remember, we want this to be a special night that you will remember for many years to come. Everyone in the Designated Prom Area should be a paid prom attendant. Your safety is our first GOAL!

The prom attendants and their dates need to arrive by 7:45 for the Senior Walk. The doors to the auditorium will open at 7:00 p.m. for parents and guests. Please do not block or gather in the lobby. Upon arriving at the Fine Arts Center, seniors will need to report promptly to either the left or right side of the stage as directed by an ACHS faculty member. You will fill out your Senior Walk card back stage. When you arrive at the front of the line, you will hand your card to one of the Junior class officers and he/she will read your information as you walk on stage. Upon exiting the stage, please line up along the wall and wait quietly so other family members may see their senior being recognized.
........................................................
Senior Walk has become a special time for family and friends; this was evident with the 1000+ guests at the
2012 and 2013 Proms. We are not giving tickets again this year. Seating is available in the Fine Arts
Center and out of respect for all viewing the Senior Walk, we ask that you do not stand in the aisles. If no seats are available, please stand along the back and side walls. The Senior Walk is estimated to last 1 hour.
In addition, we ask for silence during the senior walk so that everyone will be able to hear the MC announce each senior. In the past, there has been a lot of noise and it was difficult for the audience to hear the MC announce the next senior. Thank you in advance for respecting this request. Please feel free to take candid pictures during this time.
..................................... 1 Person will be allowed to walk with a Senior
Seniors may select one person to escort them for the Senior Walk. NO MORE THAN 2 PEOPLE
SHOULD WALK AT A TIME. If a prom date is not chosen to walk with a senior during the senior walk, the individual escorting the senior must be dressed in proper attire. Proper attire for non-prom attendees include:
SUIT GUIDELINES
