STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Gateway Academy’s prom set sail Thursday night with a glitzy evening of dining and dancing aboard a Manhattan cruise.

GRAND ENTRANCE

Dressed to impress, a dozen graduating seniors and their families gathered in a picturesque South Shore backyard before setting off at 4 p.m. for a dinner cruise around New York City.

BEST DRESSED

In a fierce competition, the blue silk dress, adorned with rhinestones on the corset, and the sleek all-black tuxedo paired with a matching blue tie claimed the coveted ‘Best Dressed’ title.
