RULES TO FOLLOW
- Highschool students ages 14-19
- Each attendee agrees to the appropriate Dress Requirements and Behaviors (see below).
- Boy/girl relationships should remain appropriate. There will be no inappropriate public display of affections (dancing, hand holding, and non-lingering hugs are acceptable).
- Boy/Girl dancing should be modest, no provocative dancing will be allowed.
- No re-entry. Students will not be allowed to leave and re-enter the building.
- As a Christ centered organization, we expect students to adhere to standards that are pleasing to the Lord in regards to dress, behavior, speech and conduct. We uphold Biblical standards for gender-appropriate, modest dress (see attire guidelines below), and respectful behavior toward all attendees and chaperones. Please do your part to make this an enjoyable and memorable evening for all attendees.
DRESS CODE
Remember, first and foremost, that our number one priority is to be Christ-honoring in all things- dress, conduct, word and deed. Attire should be distinct to the student's God-given biological gender. Dress must be formal, it’s prom!
FOR GENTLEMEN
- Tuxedos
- Dress Suits: Coat/jacket, dress pants/slacks, tie/ bow tie, button down dress shirt.
- No Jeans. Pants should fit at the waist, no undergarments may be visible.
- No graphic tees, hoodies, etc. Dress shirts are required for formal events.
FOR LADIES
- No strapless dresses. Single cross-body straps, off-shoulder sleeves, or clear straps will be permitted so long as the dress is otherwise modest, according to the dress code. If you find the perfect dress, but it’s strapless, you can add straps!
- Necklines must not be lower than the width of your palm (place your thumb in the hollow point of your neck, laying your hand horizontally across your chest, fingers together.) Test your dress with all your dance moves to make sure there will be no wardrobe malfunctions.

- Dress Length: While we hope you'll take this opportunity to wear a long formal gown, mid-calf and short dresses are also acceptable. Hi-low dresses are permitted if the "low" part is no shorter than one palm width above the knee when sitting.
- Dresses with slits should be measured with the slit no higher than mid-thigh when sitting.
- Open backs (no sides) are only acceptable if no other areas or undergarment is exposed. Again, test out those dance moves!
- Form fitting dresses are acceptable but they may not be skin tight. There should be room between the fabric and the skin, with no excessive clinging.
- No cut-outs at torso or chest area - not even sheer fabric.
- Dresses not meeting these requirements will not be permitted to attend Navigators Prom and refunds will not be given.
***If you are unsure whether your dress is within our guidelines, you may send a photo(s) to Jennifer Ziolkowski before the event to avoid any potential dress code issues at prom.
I understand these dress code requirements and agree to adhere to these standards. I understand that if my dress does not meet these requirements, I will not be permitted to attend Prom nor will I received a refund. I may, however, make the necessary alterations to be permitted to attend.
BY PURCHASING TICKETS PARTICIPANTS, GUESTS, AND PARENTS AGREE TO ADHERE TO THE RULES and any consequences if dress code or conduct code are not adhered to.
