Prom is a very special, formal event. To ensure a safe and memorable evening, please read the following carefully:
All District 214 and Hersey High School rules apply to Prom. These rules are outlined in the student handbook, and the rules apply to anyone who attends the dance.
Guests who do not attend Hersey High School are required to follow District 214 and school policies as well, regardless of age. Hersey students are responsible for informing guests of the applicable rules.
Students must arrive at the dance no later than one hour after the event has officially begun.
After entry into Prom, students will not be allowed to leave and re-enter. Don’t forget your phone or purse in the car!
All students attending Prom are responsible for their own transportation to and from the event. Parking is available on site. Valet parking is also available.
Students are not allowed to bring the following into the dance: backpacks, bags, masks, glow sticks, canes, walking sticks, and any other accessories that could be used as a weapon.
Anyone attending the dance is expected to dress appropriately for the formal occasion. The district policy regarding dress code will be enforced. Dress that is considered inappropriate by school personnel will result in the student being sent home. If you have questions regarding appropriate dress, please see the Deans for final approval.
Slam dancing, shoulder-riding, mosh-pits, inappropriate treatment of others, and violent behavior will not be permitted.
Prom is strictly smoke-free, regardless of age. Please: No smoking or vaping.
School administration will have a breathalyzer on site. Students under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other controlled substances will be required to leave immediately. Parents will be called to pick-up the student and appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken. Additional disciplinary measures may be taken, including suspension or withdrawal from graduation ceremonies.

a fun, safe, and memorable evening!
