On Saturday, April 29, the junior class of Riverdale Academy hosted the 2023 prom with the theme of Miami Vice. Junior class president Will Jones organized the evening, which was fun for all who attended. Junior class members and parents transformed the Coushatta County Club into a bright, neon pink and blue Miami Vice paradise.

Riverdale 2023 Beauties and Beaus were recognized at the prom. Beaus were Luke Greer, who was escorted by his mom, Stacey; Mason Murray, who was escorted by his mom, Melissa; Jace Wilhite, who was escorted by his mom, Keri; and Thad Bates, who was escorted by his mom, Hayley. Ben Almond, who was escorted by his mom, Heather, was Most Handsome runner up. Tyler Parker, who was escorted by his mom, Ashton, was voted this year’s Most Handsome.

Beauties for this year were Molly Seales, who was escorted by her dad, James; Baylee Whittington, who was escorted by her dad, Cody; and Jessie Kate Cobb, who was escorted by her dad, Rodney. Emma Clemons, who was escorted by her brother, Logan Bounds, was Most Beautiful runner up. Emily Kirkland, who was escorted by her dad, Jason, was voted this year’s Most Beautiful.

After an evening of laughing, dancing, and making memories, the student body voted for the 2023 prom king and queen. This year’s prom queen was Molly Seales, and this year’s prom king was Colton Massey.

Thanks to everyone who made this fun night of making memories possible!
