DME Academy Celebrates 2026 Prom Court and Vibrant Student Life

Daytona Beach, Fla. – DME Academy proudly celebrated one of the most anticipated traditions of the school year as the community gathered to honor the 2026 Prom Court.

While DME is nationally known for developing elite student-athletes who go on to compete at the collegiate and professional levels, the Academy places equal importance on building a meaningful and memorable student life experience. Events such as homecoming, prom, student celebrations, and academic awards ceremonies help create a balanced environment where students grow not only as athletes but also as leaders and members of a close-knit community.

“One of my favorite parts of my job is serving as the Student Life Coordinator,” said DME Director of Communication & Student Life Coordinator Haleigh Panaggio. “While our students are constantly focused on training, competing, and performing at a high level in their sports, it’s incredibly important that they also have opportunities to experience the fun and memorable moments of student life. The highlight of the year is always prom. It’s the biggest event we host, and seeing all of the students dressed up, excited, and enjoying a night away from campus never gets old. Watching them step out of their usual routine, celebrate together, and create memories they’ll carry long after their time here is something that makes all the planning worth it every single year.”
