Laramie High School sets prom for May 2, tickets on sale April 27-May 1

Laramie High School has set its 2026 prom for Saturday, May 2, at the Hilton Ballroom in the UW Conference Center at Hilton Garden Inn, with Grand March at 6:30 p.m. and prom running from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The notice, dated April 21, lays out the event as a deadline-driven schedule, not a last-minute option, because ticket sales run only from Monday, April 27 through Friday, May 1.

That narrow sales window matters for families trying to budget and plan. Tickets cost $25 for one or $40 for two, which brings the per-person price down to $20 when two are purchased together. Sales will be available during lunch every day, during Wednesday I&E, and after school on Thursday and Friday. No same-day sales window is listed, so students who wait until prom day will miss the public ticket window entirely.

The venue has become a familiar spring setting for Laramie High School. The school’s events calendar lists both Grand March and prom at the UW Conference Center at Hilton Garden Inn, tying the night directly to the University of Wyoming hotel complex rather than a generic ballroom. A 2012 Laramie High School prom was also held at the Hilton Garden Inn, showing that the site has long been part of the school’s prom logistics.

Prom also sits inside a tightly packed senior calendar for the Class of 2026. Laramie High School’s senior schedule lists Senior Awards Night for May 19, seniors’ last day for May 22, senior check-out for May 26, capping ceremony for May 27, the March to Elementary Schools and Baccalaureate Service for May 28, and graduation day for May 29. That sequence leaves little room to delay prom planning once the final week of April begins.

For Albany County families, the practical takeaway is straightforward: secure tickets early, match payment to the chosen ticket option, and line up transportation and attire before the last week of sales closes. With the Grand March starting at 6:30 p.m. and the dance ending at 10 p.m., May 2 will move quickly from formal procession to the final hours of one of the most visible nights on the Laramie High School calendar.
