Prom Royalty

By: Levi Gagliano (social media publicist)

At Fresno High School, the 2024 Prom “Old Hollywood” took place on April 27 and lasted from 7 to 10 pm. The tickets were sold April 15-26 and were $50 each. There was no dinner provided at the event but there were snacks. Roughly 400 people attended.

The Prom royalty duo announced was Destiny Edwards and Wilem Salkin. Destiny did not expect to win, as she asked Ms. Sciacqua to be nominated and didn’t think anything would come of it. “After high school, I would like to attend college to major in Biomedical Science in hopes to be a cardiologist,” she shared.

For Wilem, he nominated himself, kind of throwing himself on the ballot. He didn’t actively campaign to be royalty, but he made a flyer to represent himself. When he won, he thought it was a cool accomplishment. He was happy that he got a fancy crown and said that highlight of his night was afterwards when he “got to take pictures with his friends.”
