‘Lewd’ drag queen performance at New Mexico high school senior prom has parents outraged
Parents were left fuming last week when a scantily-clad drag queen performed at a New Mexico high school senior prom.
A viral video from Atrisco Heritage Academy High School’s senior prom showed the drag artist — identified by local outlets as Mythica Sahreen — dancing as dozens of teenagers watched on.
Some girls even joined in on the fun and danced with Sahreen, who wore a bodysuit and thigh-high boots and padded pantyhose to give the illusion of larger hips.
The kids’ parents, however, slammed the show as “lewd” and “highly inappropriate,” and were left questioning how the school administration could have invited such a performer for the teenage party.
“Why were the parents not warned that this was going to be happening at a school function? It’s still a school function, parents should still be made aware of the situation whether it’s a dance at school, sports, parents should be made aware of what is happening,” Morgan, the mother of a student at Atrisco Heritage Academy High School, told KRQE News 13.
Morgan added that she’s sent multiple children to Atrisco Heritage Academy High School, but didn’t have any issues until the 2023-24 academic year.
“This year it just seems like they’re failing, they’re failing the students, they’re failing the parents, to me it’s a fail all around,” she continued.
“What did they think they were going to get out of it? Like that’s so inappropriate,” said another parent, who asked to remain anonymous.
Another parent said she requested a refund for her children’s prom ticket.
The performance has also had negative repercussions on Sahreen, who told KRQE News 13 that he was not hired for the prom, but had been invited.
Since the video gained national attention, the performer has received death threats and threats against his employer.
On Thursday, Sahreen had wiped disparaging and hateful comments from his social media page.
Albuquerque Public Schools told parents in a letter Wednesday that “the district is aware of the performance and has begun an investigation to determine what occurred and how students were impacted.”
How the drag queen was invited to the prom remains a mystery — but the school’s principal has since been quietly replaced at Atrisco Heritage Academy High School.
Neither the high school or the school district immediately responded to The Post’s request for comment.

An offensive role for Gophers defensive back Koi Perich was a major storyline before the 2025 season. The experiment was seemingly over until he played more offensive snaps in Minnesota’s Rate Bowl win over New Mexico than the entire regular season combined. Let’s take a deeper look at every position Perich lined up at against the Lobos.
Defense (69 snaps)
Positional breakdown: via Pro Football Focus (PFF)
- FS: 20 snaps
- ILB: 20 snaps
- Slot CB: 16 snaps
- SS: 10 snaps
- OLB: 3 snaps
Defensive production
- 69.7 PFF grade
- 5 total tackles

Perich’s defensive production took a slight step back in 2025, but his 69.7 PFF grade in the Rate Bowl against New Mexico was his third-highest of the season. It marked only the fourth time this season that he had one missed tackle or fewer.
Offense (22 snaps)
Positional breakdown
- Slot WR: 12 snaps
- Outside WR: 10 snaps
Offensive production
- 4 receptions, 34 yards
- 2 carries, 7 yards
Friday was Perich’s best offensive game of his college career. It might’ve taken five wide receivers to enter the transfer portal and Le’Meke Brockington opting out of the game, but he essentially acted as their No. 3 wide receiver.
His previous career high for offensive snaps came in Week 1 against Buffalo when he saw the field seven times. He also had his most productive game against the Lobos with four receptions for 34 yards, which was the second most on the team. When Minnesota wanted Perich to play offense, you’d have to assume Friday’s game was how they wanted it to look.
Special teams
- One punt return, four yards
Perich played his normal special teams role against New Mexico, as Minnesota’s primary punt returner and kick returner, but he only had one punt return for four yards.
A handful of transfer portal entries and bowl game opt outs opened the window for Minnesota to revisit the Perich experiement on offense, and it was sucesful. It will be an interesting storyline to follow whether or not it was just bowl game theatrics or a look into a true two-way role in 2026.
