The student handbook states the following regarding Prom:
The Prom, held in the spring, is the social activity of the year for Hart County’s Juniors and Seniors. The Juniors, Seniors, and their guests enjoy an evening of formal dress, friendship, and dance in a highly decorated but relaxed atmosphere.
The Prom is a school activity, which requires student behavior to conform to school policies. Students who wish to bring a guest who does not attend Hart County High School must get approval from an administrator. Individuals who are not a high school freshmen or older will not be permitted to attend Prom. Any individual who has been expelled from Hart County Schools may not attend Prom. Also, any individual who has dropped out of the Hart County School system may not attend Prom until his/her class has graduated, unless that student is currently enrolled in an accredited educational institution.
Juniors and Seniors who desire to bring a guest will be required to obtain prior administrator approval for their guest before tickets will be sold to them. Students will be responsible for the actions and behaviors of their guests at all time.
Students are expected to act respectfully at all times and dance in a style and fashion that is consistent with the expectations of Hart County High School. Students should dance front-to-front at all times. The following types of dancing are not acceptable: moshing, slam, body / crowd surfing, freaking, and bump and grind.
