31 Years Ago in Cadet History…
Let’s rewind back to 1995!
The theme was “After All Is Said And Done.”, Prom: A Galaxy Away had students dancing among the stars, and our State Track Qualifiers were leaving it all on the track and chasing greatness!
Back when mixtapes were carefully crafted, the internet made its noisy debut, and style was all about flannel and confidence, Cadets were making memories that proved one thing… after all is said and done, it’s the moments together that last!
