Worland- Prom season has finally arrived at Worland High School. This year’s prom theme is Great Gatsby, inspired by the famous Scott Fitzgerald Novel, “The Great Gatsby” and its many movie adaptations.

The prom committee is led by Junior Class President Teegan Molzahn and is being monitored by WHS Science Teacher and Junior Advisory Teacher Kristin Kelton. Molzahn gathered students from the junior class to help collaborate and come up with ideas for the prom theme.

Every meeting on Thursday at lunch, the prom committee meets to discuss the going forward agenda of what needs to be done and everyone’s responsibilities to get it done. Molzahn states that everyone must play their part if the committee wants everything to be done on time. 

“This is going to be a fun experience to make this the best prom ever,” Molzahn said.

Currently, the prom committee is working on getting approval of some fundraisers and the place where prom will be held. All the funds raised from prom will go towards the junior turned senior class for their senior party. The junior class hopes everyone who attends will love the setup and hopes that underclassmen who are invited will be inspired by it, too, when it’s their turn to plan prom.

Worland- April 26th marked the Spring event everyone has been waiting for: WHS Juniors put on a prom that has become the highlight of the year. The theme was The Great Gatsby, and it was executed perfectly. More than 80 students attended, dressed in stunning attire. 

The evening began with a grand entrance, where students walked down a red carpet, capturing the glamorous spirit of the event. Junior Prom Princess and Prince were Emma Glanz and Krew Neighbors. The 2026 Senior Prom Queen and King, Audrey Benson and Cooper Cannon, also celebrated their titles, adding to the excitement of the night.

In addition to dancing the night away, attendees enjoyed a range of activities that brought an extra layer of fun to the evening. Poker and Blackjack tables were set up for those eager to try their luck, and participants had the chance to win exciting prizes through a drawing. The diverse array of activities ensured that everyone found something enjoyable, fostering a lively atmosphere.

The success of the evening can be attributed to the tireless efforts and leadership of the Junior class, who coordinated every detail, from the decorations to the planning of activities.
