2019 Prom - The Pecatonica High School held the 2019 Prom last Saturday May 4, 2019. Students looked very glamorous for the formal occasion. The Grand March was held at the high school where students were announced and also our Prom King, Kolton Mathieu and Prom Queen, Lily Karvelis. The prom goers enjoyed dinner at Giovanni's in Rockford and then returned to the High School for the dance. Many students stayed all night for the Post Prom after party. All were glad it didn’t snow.
