Tickets went on sale Monday, Sept. 14, through the RYCOR online payment system on the LOLHS website. They are sold first-come, first-served. The school said sales will close once all available tickets are purchased, even before the scheduled sales window ends.

No paper tickets will be issued. Students who buy a ticket are placed on an admission list and must bring a valid photo ID to enter.

The dance is open to LOLHS students only. No guest tickets are available.

Eligibility Requires Grades, Attendance and Conduct Standards

Students must meet the school's "On Track" requirements to be eligible. According to the LOLHS seniors page, those guidelines require a 2.0 GPA or higher, at least 90% attendance and credits on track for graduation. Students also must have no more than one Level 1 disciplinary referral and no Level 2 or 3 referrals.

Students who fall short can appeal their status once per school year for attendance-related issues. A grade-level or IB program assistant principal reviews the case, and that decision is final.

Dance Runs Saturday Night With Strict Dress Code

The homecoming dance is Saturday, Sept. 26, from 7 to 10:30 p.m. in the LOLHS gym at 20325 Gator Lane. Doors close at 8:30 p.m. sharp. Students who arrive after that will not be admitted, and there is no re-entry once a student leaves.

The dress code bans jeans, shorts, cargo pants, T-shirts, flip-flops, chains, spikes and bandanas. Permitted attire includes dress pants, tuxedos, suits and khakis. Shoes and shirts are required at all times. Students who do not meet the dress code may be turned away at the door.
