Under the Sea: Prom of 2026 sets sail!

By Mansi Viswanath

This year’s prom transformed the bay into an unforgettable underwater dream. With the theme Under the Sea, attendees stepped aboard a luxury yacht for a night filled with music, laughing, and memories that will definitely last long after graduation. As the yacht sailed across the sparkling bay, students explored every corner of the beautifully adorned venue: Lines gathered on the deck to take pictures with friends against the backdrop of the city lights and open water, while others posed at the underwater-themed photobooth to capture candid, laughter-filled moments with their friends. Inside, the dance floor stayed packed throughout the evening as students danced to their favorite songs, and others spent time simply relaxing with their friends, talking and even playing cards while enjoying the atmosphere of the night; even the teachers joined in on the fun, enjoying the celebration just as everyone else!

Late into the evening, one of the most anticipated moments arrived as Aditya Iyer (12g) and Nysa Lalye (12g) were elected prom king and queen.

Prom was honestly an amazing experience, and having it on a yacht made it even more memorable. Everything was organized wonderfully, the atmosphere was incredible, and it genuinely felt like everyone was having a great time together. I’m also really honored and grateful to have been voted prom king. It meant a lot to me, and I’m thankful to everyone who made the night so special. Aditya Iyer ('26)

The crowd erupted in cheers as the two shared a slow dance together beneath the glowing lights of the yacht, soon joined by the other students on the floor. From the stunning views of the bay to the laughter and memories formed, Prom ’26 was a night to remember.
