During the 2021 Tallulah Falls School Prom held March 27, the names of two one-night-only monarchs were announced.

Dean of Students Jimmy Franklin revealed the names of Tate Whitfield of Alto as Prom King and Mia Kwarteng of Snellville as Prom Queen. The excited pair joined the ranks of the school’s archival royal court. King and queen are selected via secret ballot by members of the senior class.

Kwarteng shared a traditional first dance with President and Head of School Larry Peevy, with Whitfield joined on the dance floor by TFS Board Chairwoman Gail Cantrell.

The annual elegant evening held at Chota Falls featured the traditional senior walk, dinner, dancing, and a bonfire at the end of the evening.
