For most high schoolers, the high school experience wouldn’t be complete without the iconic Prom night—and Meridian’s Prom was no exception. Whether you danced the night away or simply showed up for the memories, this year’s event held up to its legacy, bringing together juniors and seniors for a night of laughter, celebration, and connection.
Each year, Meridian works hard to craft a unique prom experience that reflects the spirit of the student body. While the theme always brings its own flair, the location has varied over time—from a hotel ballroom a few years back to last year’s scenic outdoor venue. This year, Prom returned to a familiar and favorite spot: the Round Rock Marriott.
Planning an event that keeps teens engaged all evening is no small task, but Meridian’s faculty and organizers once again rose to the occasion. The ever-popular photo booth made its return, giving students the chance to snap silly or stylish pictures with their friends and dates—a cherished highlight of the night.
This year also brought something new: caricature art! A talented artist sketched cartoon versions of students throughout the evening, drawing a steady crowd eager for a personalized keepsake. The line never seemed to die down, and every student walked away grinning with their funny and charming portraits in hand.
Of course, no Prom is complete without the food, and the Marriott delivered once again. From creative appetizers to sweet treats served later in the night, the variety ensured everyone found something to enjoy between dance breaks.
The final touches—thoughtful decor, upbeat music from the DJ, festive goody bags, and signature mocktails—added to the magic of the evening. Meridian’s dedication to creating a memorable, joy-filled Prom was evident in every detail.
For those who attended, Prom 2025 will be remembered not just for the music or the outfits, but for the feeling of community and fun that filled the room. It’s a night many will look back on with a smile, grateful for the tradition Meridian continues to celebrate each year.
