Homecoming Tickets and Mums
The Homecoming Dance is Saturday, September 28 from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Students will not be allowed to enter after 9:00 p.m. Re-entry is not allowed.
The deadline to purchase tickets and submit the Guest Form is Monday, September 23. Students who are bringing a guest from another school must submit the below form to Mr. Olivarri. Late submissions will not be accepted. Guests must have a student I.D. or driver's license.
Dress Code
The Homecoming Dance is a semi-formal to formal event that requires traditional, modest attire. Please dress appropriately. We have the right to refuse admittance to anyone who is not dressed accordingly.
Ladies:
Attire should be modest in nature. Spaghetti straps and strapless dresses are permitted. In all cases, neck and bust lines should provide more than sufficient coverage. Dresses should be no shorter than knee length. Backless dresses should not extend below the mid-back and no portion of the midriff, whether through sheer material, two-piece dresses, or direct cut-outs, should be exposed. If your attire is determined to be too revealing at the door, you may be required to leave to change. If you are not sure whether your attire is appropriate, please see admin for approval well in advance.
Gentlemen:
Dress suits or shirts with ties and dress pants are to be worn. Males (whether guests or Antonian students) are not allowed to wear earrings.
Everyone, including guests who are not from Antonian, must adhere to the school’s standards and rules in order to attend Antonian’s Homecoming Dance, so please share these guidelines with your son or daughter’s guest. Anyone not following the guidelines may be asked to leave.
Now is a good time to begin to discuss with your child appropriate ways to enjoy the night which certainly should not include consumption of substances that are illegal for teenagers and activities that are not appropriate for students who abide by Antonian’s core values.
