Hartem prom goers begin their
Enchanted Evening at the Prom Grand March
[April 27, 2026]
On Saturday evening, 22
Hartsburg-Emden High School juniors and seniors participated in the
annual Prom Grand March at the Hartem High School. This year, the
prom, hosted by the Hartem Class of 2027 was themed An Enchanting
Night. The prom grand march began at 5:30 p.m. After attendees were
introduced, there was time allotted for mingling with guests and
taking photos in the gymnasium before the group was expected to
gather at the Hartsburg community building, where they would begin
their enchanted evening.
All the attendees gathered on the Hartem stage. As they were
introduced, they descended the stairs with assistance from
attendants Kamden Pointer and Andrew Zimmerman. Each pair made their
graceful journey under three lovely arches. At the end of the third
arch, the pairs paused briefly for photos and to be applauded by
guests.
The bleachers were filled with proud parents, grandparents, and
other relatives and friends on hand to see their favorite young
person decked out to the nines in anticipation of a wonderful
evening.
As attendees were introduced, four young people left their prom
partners to return to the stage. They were introduced for a second
time as the 2026 Hartem Prom royalty.
