Senior Prom

PA’s Senior Prom is scheduled for Friday, May 29. Prom tickets are $165 per person; this ticket includes transportation, dinner, and entertainment for the evening. Financial aid is available for prom tickets; for inquiries, please email the Financial Aid Office. Details on how students can purchase prom tickets will be shared by Student Activities Office. Please note that the prom is exclusively for PA seniors; guests or dates from other grades or outside the Academy are not permitted.

To streamline preparations, we have partnered with Russo Tux & Formal Wear, who will handle tuxedo/suit fittings and rentals. We also work with a local florist, who will offer wristlets and boutonnieres. Although not mandatory, using these vendors simplifies the process, as they deliver to campus and accept major credit cards.

2026 Commencement

We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2026 beginning Friday, May 29, and culminating with Commencement Exercises on the morning of Sunday, May 31. For comprehensive information and updates, visit the Commencement webpage.

Taxi and Limousine Service Providers

For transportation to Logan (Boston) and Manchester (N.H.) airports or Boston’s South Station, arrangements can be made with private taxi and limousine service providers. A list of service providers regularly used by members of the PA community including information on greeter services for unaccompanied minors is available here.
