FAQ About NWHS 2025 Prom:
Masks? Can I bring my own mask to coordinate with my outfit?
NO- Mr. Buchler said students cannot bring their own OR use makeup to paint on their faces. The Prom Committee purchased 400 masks in a variety of styles for students to choose after they check in at Prom.
Cost- This year the cost is $45 per person. The cost of the entire event has gone up some, but the Class of 2026 fundraised last year. This way we don't have to raise the cost.
GoFan App- most families have the free app on their phones. It is used for all our NW sporting events. It was also used at the Ties and Tiarra's dance this year. If you don't have an app, it's free to download. I think you can even use a laptop to get the tickets when they are available APRIL 1st. It is preferred for all attending to use the app. Please let me know if you have any issues. Parents can buy tickets on thier app BUT they have to transfer the ticket to the student's account via Go Fan. We will "click" their ticket at the check in table.
Juniors and Seniors of NWHS and NWC will have a special promo code when tickets go LIVE. The code is their student ID #. This allows the office to make sure the students have met proper criteria to enjoy Prom.
Guests- these would be underclassmen or guests from outside of NWHS or NWC. Once their guest forms are approved, they will get a special promo code to use to purchase tickets on Go Fan.
Can a student buy their date's ticket?
Yes- they can pay for their guest's ticket using Go Fan and the above mentioned Promo Code.
Example- My son can buy his ticket and his date's ticket at one time as long as he has her promo code.

NWHS Daily Announcements
Attention Seniors - Please check your Balance Alerts in PowerSchool
All graduates must have their fees/fines taken care of prior to graduation. This may include your chromebook, charges and any books you may currently have if you do not get them turned in by your last day.
Emails will be going out in the next couple of weeks to your school email letting you know what you currently owe in PowerSchool. If your PowerSchool shows a SOY balance that is a balance that has been carried over from a previous year and the email you receive will include a description of what that SOY balance was for.
For any questions about fees/fines please check with Mrs. Rogers in the front office. (email: kim.rogers@nwschools.org)
