SHRODER HIGH SCHOOL

Standards for Prom Attire

Why do we have a dress code?

SHS staff and administration want you to make good choices. We are not trying to inhibit your

style.

Prom should be fun, but we want everyone to be comfortable and safe.

With modesty in mind, the following dress code guidelines will be enforced at the Shroder

High School Prom

Formal prom attire may be classified as a tuxedo or dress suit, including a tie, bow tie,

a turtle neck, a shirt, which may include a vest or cummerbund. Shirts are to be worn at all times. Dress shoes or dress boots must be

worn while in any public building. Tennis shoes, Timberland type boots, and athletic

shoes are unacceptable.
