Armstrong High School Prom Guidelines

TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE.

1. Bring your ticket  with you, in addition to an ID (school, state, or driver’s license).
2. Non-Armstrong guests MUST bring an ID with them. 
3. Guests will only be permitted to enter with the senior/junior who purchased their ticket.
4. Guests will be expected to follow all Armstrong High School rules and regulations.
5. Once a student enters prom, they will not be allowed to exit. A staff member may escort you outside in special circumstances. If a student chooses to leave the venue, they will not be readmitted.
6. All Armstrong High School rules apply at prom. This includes rules concerning both behavior and chemicals.
7. Prom is a formal event; conduct and attire that fits a formal event is expected.
8. There is not a secure or locked area for valuables, so plan ahead. Do not bring backpacks or large bags, as there will not be staff to watch them. Purses/bags will be searched at the entrance (back parking lot/staff entrance).  
9. Charge your phone beforehand, as we will not guard phones that are charging anywhere in the building. 
10. Be sure to secure a ride home before the end of the evening. Prom is over at 11:00pm sharp! We have been communicated that everyone will need to exit the building by 11:15pm as they will need to lock the doors and get ready for an event the next morning.  Do not wait until 11:00 to find a ride! 
11.  Absolutely no party buses!! Students will not be allowed in if they arrive on a party bus.
