Pesta and Allison reign as CHS prom queen and king

Chelsea Pesta and Hunter Allison reigned as Carrollton High School’s 2026 junior-senior prom queen and king.

The reigning royalty were crowned by last year’s queen, Marleigh Oslin, and Ryan Kiko, representing last year’s king, Garrett Broadwater.

Reigning as prom prince and princess were Dallak Paulette and Emma Eddy, both juniors at CHS.

Despite chilly weather Saturday evening, with temperatures in the 50s, there was a good turnout, with about 237 promgoers attending the dress-up event. The theme was “Be Our Guest.”

This year’s queen is a daughter of Kathy and Dan Pesta. She plans to attend the University of Mount Union and major in exercise science to become a physician assistant.

Allison, son of Michael and Casey Allison, plans to pursue a career in aviation.
