Quotes from people who attended:

"I really enjoyed the pridecoming ball because I knew that it was going to be an event and space where I could be my true self around people who were like me in the lgbtq+ community. My favorite part of the event was towards the end when everyone started singing and dancing because we had so much energy. Everyone was singing with their whole hearts, and it just made me happy to see people be comfortable and showing who they really are without having to hide" - Jennifer Vong

 

"The pridecoming ball was one of the best experiences I have had for any school sanctioned event. It was a space that allowed me to truly be myself without having to be extra aware of my surroundings. One of my favorite moments of the ball was towards the end when one of the queens commented on how they never had anything like the pridecoming ball when they were in school and how it is amazing that Centre was having an event like it. It just goes to show that events like these build a community. Overall, it was an amazing experience that allowed so many people to be there amazing, unique selves without fear of other people's reactions." - Robyn Tribolet

 

“I didn't know what to expect when I walked into the Warehouse on the Saturday night of Homecoming. What I found was a space full of fun and a newfound family. This event itself wasn't the only thing that brought me joy. Seeing other people happy and feeling the energy and support of those around me filled my night with joy and hope for a more inclusive community at Centre.” – Sam Cotthoff
