STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Luckily the rain clouds made a sharp turn away Friday night as Susan Wagner held its senior prom on a hot Friday night at the Hilton Garden Inn.

This year’s prom had a nautical theme; an ode to seniors taking a “dive into their future” as their high school tenures draw to an end.

Grand entrance

Some 700 prom guests arrived dressed to impress for 6 p.m. cocktail hour. The seniors’ parade of memorable entrances included numerous luxury cars, party buses, stretched SUVs, a motorcycle motorcade and even a horse-drawn carriage.

Barbara Meinero and Gabriel Pimentel earned the title of this prom’s best dressed with Meinero’s navy blue off-the-shoulder gown perfectly accenting Pimentel’s paisley-printed navy tuxedo jacket.
