Miami Northwestern's prom went viral due to its glamorous style.

As prom season comes to an end, one high school in Miami has been making waves on social media. A video shared by a former student and current teacher, Tyeshia Bryant, has gone viral with over four million views. The video showcases the seniors of Miami Northwestern arriving at their prom in style, dressed to impress.

According to Bryant, this level of glamour is the norm at Northwestern, but this year's seniors raised the bar even higher, fully understanding the importance of the occasion. From Lamborghinis to Mercedes-Benzes, BMWs, Rolls Royces, and even a Tesla Cybertruck with a police escort, the students made a statement as they arrived at the Hilton Downtown on May 11 for their prom.

Senior class vice-president Algieria Thomas explained that this level of grandeur is part of Northwestern's legacy and it's expected for students to go all out. The prom theme for 2024, "Majestic Beauty: A Night of Elegance and Class," was spearheaded by Thomas, who wanted a concept that could be interpreted in various ways, allowing students to showcase their personal definition of class and elegance.

Thomas, who will be attending Alabama State University for business after graduation, arrived at the event in a BMW 5 Series, accompanied by her prom date, both dressed in white with silver accents. This year's prom was especially significant for the 370 seniors of Northwestern, who began their high school journey amid a global pandemic. Class sponsor Krista Gibbs wanted to make sure that this prom was a memorable one, as she had been working hard all year to create special experiences for the students.

Gibbs, who is an alumnus of Carol City High and Florida A&M University, understood the importance of showcasing Black excellence at Northwestern. She wanted to instill a sense of culture, tradition, and pride in the students, reminding them of the school's rich history of producing notable Black professionals who have made a positive impact on the community. Some of these notable names include Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, Miami-Dade District 1 School Board Member Steve Gallon III, and former NFL quarterback and current Northwestern football coach Teddy Bridgewater.

Gibbs explained that it was important to recreate this culture and tradition for the students, as prom is a once-in-a-lifetime event that they will never forget. As the first high school for Black students in 1955, Miami Northwestern holds a special place in the community, and it's important to continue upholding its legacy. Overall, the stress and hard work leading up to the prom were worth it when Gibbs saw the students arrive in their extravagant looks, filled with pride and excitement for the special night ahead.
