    Reminder—it is your job to share the dress code with your guest!

    1. Students may ONLY wear hats that are considered formal wear—no baseball caps. 

     

    1. Shoes are required.



    1.  PROM DRESSES  Should not be shorter than fingertip length. This includes the slits in dresses. 

    •  Should not be too low cut in the back. Your bottom should not show at any time during prom, whether you are standing, walking, sitting, dancing, leaning, etc;  

    • Should not reveal cleavage. No plunging necklines are allowed. 

    • Should not have sheer, skin-toned fabric that gives the illusion of bare skin in areas that should not be bare.  

    • 2 piece dresses may only reveal 2 inches of skin or less, in the midriff area.

     

     Please be responsible when choosing your dress for PROM. If you arrive and your dress is not appropriate you will be asked to leave and not return until you have corrected your attire. If you have a question about the dress you might choose, please bring a picture and ask a principal. Do not risk being sent home from prom!



    Students and their parents are expected to use good judgment and remember that this is a HIGH SCHOOL event when selecting appropriate prom attire.
