Two high schools will once again have a senior prom...without the excess.

Instead of the extravagance that used to exist, that included limos and weekend house rentals in the Hamptons, the students have suggested taking buses to a Manhattan pier for a dinner cruise, for a total cost of about $100 per student.

According to AP reports, Brother Kenneth M. Hoagland, principal of Kellenberg Memorial High School in Uniondale sparked a national debate when he canceled the senior prom due to over-the-top antics and spending. Weeks later, officials at nearby Chaminade High School did the same.

The Rev. James Williams, president of Chaminade, said the revised celebration "is much more consistent with the values we adhere to."
