This year, the prom, hosted by the Hartem Class of 2027 was themed “An Enchanting Night.” The prom grand march began at 5:30 p.m. After attendees were introduced, there was time allotted for mingling with guests and taking photos in the gymnasium before the group was expected to gather at the Hartsburg community building, where they would begin their enchanted evening. All the attendees gathered on the Hartem stage. As they were introduced they descended the stars with assistance from attendants Kamden Pointer and Andrew Zimmerman. Then each pair made their graceful journey under three lovely arches. At the end of the third arch, the pairs paused briefly for photos and to be applauded by guests. The bleachers were filled with proud parents, grandparents, and other relatives and friends there to see their favorite young person decked out to the nines in anticipation of a wonderful evening. As attendees were introduced, four young people left their prom partners to return to the stage. Then they were introduced for a second time as the 2026 Hartem Prom royalty. The 2026 prom Prince was junior Cooper McAffee with his princess being junior Cambelle Hopkins. When they reached the third arch, the two received their sashes and crowns by prom attendants Lydia Doolin and Ava Eeten. The 2026 king was Peyton Swinford with his queen Ellie Klokkenga.
