COLUMBUS, Ind. — Local high school students were invited to travel back in time to the age of old-school cinema this past weekend.

The Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp.’s 2023 prom was held at The Commons on Saturday night. The theme, “A Cinematic Premiere”, centered on 1940’s and 1950’s Hollywood.

Prom attendees made their way down the red carpet to the event, with some arriving early to participate in the annual prom parade through downtown. The dance lasted from 9 p.m. to midnight.

Students were also invited to attend another star-studded event that evening, as Turning Point Domestic Violence Services held the After Prom Party at Central Middle School. The free event with the theme “A Night Among the Stars” was open to all Bartholomew County students in grades 9-12 regardless of school, with freshmen and sophomores invited to attend from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. and juniors and seniors welcomed from midnight to 3 a.m.
