Kee High School 2026 Prom to feature “A Night at the Oscars” in new format for this year

The 2026 Kee High School Prom is scheduled for this Saturday, April 25 and will feature a bit of a different format from past years as students enjoy “A Night at the Oscars”. The Grand March will kick off the evening at 5 p.m. in the Kee High School gym. The annual Prom banquet will then be held at TJ Hunter’s Banquet Hall on Main Street in Lansing, beginning at 6:30 p.m., where students will enjoy a glamorous evening of red carpet moments, dazzling decor, and Hollywood-worthy memories complete with paparazzi, VIP access, and Kee’s very own Oscar Award Ceremony featuring such honors as Best Red Carpet Appearance; Outstanding Performance: Life of the Party; Best Duo in a Leading Role (couple, bros, gal-pals); Best Choreography: Dance Floor Takeover; and many more, in lieu of crowning a Prom King and Queen.

The banquet meal will be served at 6:30 p.m., followed by a senior class speaker, a guest speaker and the Oscar Award Ceremony. The Prom dance will begin immediately following the awards ceremony and last until 11 p.m.

Prior to that banquet meal, the Grand March will be held in the Kee High School gym, beginning at 5 p.m. and concluding by 6 p.m. so students can transition to TJ Hunter’s for the remainder of the Prom evening. The public is invited to attend the Grand March, which will also include the Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances. Doors open to the public for that Grand March at the Kee High School gym at 4:45 p.m. and a free will donation will be taken at the door.

Post Prom festivities will follow the dance from midnight until approximately 3:30 a.m. at the former Lansing Middle School gym, with doors opening for admittance to the Post Prom event at 11:15 p.m. and closing at 12 midnight.

The Post Prom celebration provides entertainment, games and challenges, raffles, door prizes, and snacks and drinks for students and their Prom guests to enjoy.
