Prom | Students

Who can attend?

Current ND juniors and seniors can attend with or without a guest.
Guests of ND juniors and seniors must be a high school student. They will be required to present their current and valid 2025-26 student ID when they arrive at the dance. If the guest does not have a high school ID from 2025-26, a copy of their current class schedule with their principal’s/dean’s signature or business card must be brought instead.
Guests who have graduated from high school are able to attend, but the parent/guardian of the ND student host must email a signed letter explicitly stating that they grant permission for the guest to attend with their ND student. The names of both parties and the parent's name and signature must also be included. This letter must be emailed to Mrs. Borromei (cborromei@ndsj.org) BEFORE purchasing a guest ticket.
ND students are limited to bringing one guest each.
ND students are required to be at school on May 16 in order to attend the prom in accordance with the Attendance and Co-Curricular Guidelines policy found in the Student/Parent Handbook on page 31.
ND students and their guests must abide by all of the policies outlined in the student behavior section of the Student/Parent Handbook (starting on page 32), including the ND honor code, the tobacco, alcohol, drugs & controlled substances policy, etc.

What is the ticket price and what does it include?

Your ticket price includes elaborate desserts, an ice cream sundae bar, chocolate fountain and dippers, water and soft drinks, dancing, music, glitter tattoos, activities, board games, a professional photo booth and a 360-video booth.
The early-bird ticket price is $90 per person. The price goes up to $110 per person on April 16 at 8 a.m.
All tickets must be purchased in advance through the online form and there will be no tickets sold at the door. Tickets cannot be given to another student or transferred.
Ticket sales close at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, May 14.
Supplemental aid is available for ND students and their guest. Please email Mrs. Borromei to request aid no later than Friday, May 9 to ensure there is enough time for business office approval.
There are no physical tickets and all sales are processed electronically via our payment partner, GoFan. Students with successfully-purchased tickets will get a confirmation email directly after their purchase from GoFan and will also receive an email the week of the prom from ND with more information.

What time can I show up and leave?

The dance starts at 7 p.m. and ends at 11 p.m., but all attendees must arrive by 8 p.m. and cannot leave before 10 p.m.
ND students and their guests who request to leave earlier than 10 p.m. must have their parent/guardian email Ms. Battisti to request permission in advance.

Where do I get dropped off and picked up?

Students can get dropped off and picked up in the loading zone directly in front of the Corinthian Grand Ballroom. See this map for more detailed information.

I'm driving myself. Where can I park?

Metered parking: There are parking meters (that are free after 6 p.m.) along both sides of 3rd Street between E. St. John Street and E. St. James Street. This is your best bet for parking because it's free and close to the venue.
Parking garages: There are two paid parking garages near the venue - the 4th/St. John Garage (50 N. 4th Street) and the 3rd Street Garage (95 N. 3rd Street). Please check www.parksj.org for the current weekend-night rates.
See the parking map for more detailed information.

What do I need to bring?

All ticket sales are electronic and there are no paper/printed tickets. Once you have bought your ticket and paid, you will receive an email from GoFan, our payment partner, with your digital ticket. You will need to access your ticket at the check-in table the night of the mixer, so make sure that it's in your email or the GoFan app and that you can open it from your phone. If your parent/guadian purchased your ticket for you, make sure they forward you the email with the ticket so that you can access it that night. No screenshots will be accepted.
ND students: do not need to bring their student ID
Non-ND students: please bring your current 2025-26 high school student ID. If you do not have a current ID, please bring a printout of your current schedule with your principal’s/dean’s business card stapled to it.
No outside food or beverage will be allowed in the building.
Bag checks will be conducted upon arrival.
A coat check will be available.

What’s the dress code?

Attire is formal and in accordance with with the ND Student Handbook guidelines under Free Dress on page 46.
Wear or bring comfortable shoes, if desired.
A coat check will be available.

Can I request a song in advance?

Sure! Just make sure it’s safe for Sister G’s ears.
Please note that this is a request form and it's not guaranteed that your song will be played.
ND students can submit their requests in advance here. You can also request songs that evening directly from the DJ that night.

I can't find my ticket in my email. What can I do?

You must be able to access your ticket the night of the dance and NO SCREENSHOTS will be accepted.
A confirmation email will be sent to all dance attendees that includes the email address used to purchase your ticket, or you can directly search for the GoFan confirmation email.
If you're still having issues, email Mrs. Borromei (cborromei@ndsj.org) and she can look up the email address you used to purchase the ticket.

Have a reccommendation for boutonnieres and corsages?
