EVHS Bi-Weekly Announcements

Last year, our Homecoming Dance reached capacity and we were unable to allow many Eastview students to attend. To prevent this from happening this year, our Student Council and our administration has determined we will limit ticket sales to Eastview students only. We want to be sure all of our Eastview students have the opportunity to attend the dance.

Our Homecoming Dance will be Saturday, October 7 from 8:00pm to 11:00pm.

• Tickets will be sold online only.

• Purchase your tickets as soon as possible to be sure you have the opportunity to attend!

• Only students with a current Eastview student ID for 2023-24 will be allowed to attend.

• Click here to purchase your tickets: https://www.vancoevents.com/BZZV

More information about Homecoming activities will be coming soon.
