After prom ends at 11 PM, Hidden Valley High School students are invited to continue the Great Gatsby celebration at The Launching Pad for the PTSO After Prom 2026, which runs until 2:30 AM and features games, prizes, a photo booth, and playful tattoos for $25 per ticket.
The PTSO has organized this late-night event to extend the prom celebration and give students a safe, supervised place to have fun after the main event wraps up. Students can purchase tickets for $25 using the QR link, at the door, or online, and the event includes activities like prize drawings, photo booth opportunities, and temporary tattoos.
The Launching Pad will transform into an extension of the Great Gatsby experience, complete with games, constant prize announcements throughout the night, and opportunities to capture memories with friends. Whether students are looking to wind down after dancing or keep the energy high, after prom offers something for everyone.
Isabella Jentzsch (11) is excited about the event. “Absolutely! I’m most looking forward to hanging out with my friends in a fun, safe environment after prom ends,” she said. “I think the prizes will be the best part.”
When asked what could make the after prom event even better, Jentzsch had a thoughtful suggestion: “Maybe they could have some food or snacks available, even if it’s just pizza or something simple. Also, I’d love to see more interactive games where we can compete with our friends!”
Hailey Hoyt (11) sees after prom as a unique experience compared to the main event. “After prom will definitely feel different from regular prom,” Hoyt explained. “At prom, everyone’s focused on dancing and taking formal photos, but after prom seems more laid-back and fun. We can just relax and enjoy time with our friends without the pressure of looking perfect all night.”
As for her favorite activity, Hoyt didn’t hesitate: “Definitely the prizes! There’s something exciting about the possibility of winning something cool throughout the night. It keeps the energy up and gives everyone a reason to stay engaged.”
