An Evening to Remember
Please read carefully
Prom is a special evening for our Homeschool community. The committee puts every effort into making this event run smoothly and ensure it is a success so we can enjoy it for years to come. As the number of homeschoolers grow each year, we are finding an increasing number of students from different backgrounds attending. This is a great thing! However, the increase adds more varied opinions on the standards of certain aspects of prom. Because of this, the committee is implementing more formal guidelines to help everyone understand the expectations, in hopes of avoiding misunderstandings. We are passionate about this event and pray that everyone reading this and attending the event will uphold the same standard.
Who can purchase tickets?
- HOMESCHOOL Seniors (graduating 2025) and Juniors (graduating 2026) may purchase tickets and are considered the "ticket holders". Each ticket holder may purchase their ticket and a guest ticket. Please note, you are only allowed to be a ticket holder for 2 years (a Junior ticket holder and a Senior ticket holder).
What is early access and who can participate?
- All SENIORS (graduating 2025) will have early access from 4PM-5Pm on April 7th to purchase their ticket and their guests ticket. Reminder, sales open for Juniors (graduating 2026) at 5PM. If you are not a Senior and try purchasing tickets before 5PM, you will have your ticket(s) refunded by the committee and risk not getting to re-purchase at the later time. Please just be honest and patient if you are a Junior.
Who can be a guest?
- Guests are not required to be a homeschooled student but must follow the age guidelines and all information (email, phone number, emergency contact, etc.) NEEDS to be filled out when purchasing tickets.
What is the age requirement?
- The MINIMUM age of a guest that is allowed to attend is 14 years old by May 1, 2025. The MAXIMUM age is 20 years old by May 1, 2025.
Do you have to attend with a date/guest?
- Absolutely not! Come with a group of friends, siblings, a date or fly solo!
What is the dress code?
- Prom is a formal event.
- Young men are expected to wear dress shirts (button down, collared shirts). Additionally, dress pants are required. Sports coat, vest, tie, etc., are optional.
- Young ladies are expected to wear formal dresses. The dress needs be modest, in good taste and an appropriate length. Dresses can not be shorted than 4 inches above the knee with modest slits not going higher than mid-thigh, even if there is a sheer longer layer over the top. Bare stomachs, bare midriffs, immodest necklines and see through apparel are not permitted.
- If students have any doubt about the appropriateness of their attire, they should ask ahead of the event rather than be placed in an embarrassing situation of being turned away at the door. Email or text the committee with attire, related questions.
Can my parents stay to watch the prom?
- No. This event is for the students and we want to make sure it stays that way. We are a well-chaperoned event. If chaperoning is something that interests any parents, please reach out to the committee prior to the event.
Can I leave the event and come back?
- There is absolutely no leaving and coming back. If you need to run out to your vehicle during prom, students will be accompanied by 2 chaperones to and from the vehicle. If students decide to leave before 10:30pm, they will have to sign-out at the check out table and can't come back.
Will there be food?
- We will NOT be providing a dinner, however we will have light snacks and lots of water.
- No outside food or beverages are allowed, even water bottles.
Can I bring a bag?
- No bags, backpacks or purses larger than a formal clutch will be allowed. You are responsible for all your personal belongings, the committee and chaperones will not hold onto students items during the event.
Is there a Photographer?
- No. We do not have a professional photographer. However we have a complementary photo booth that students receive an "album" of pictures texted to them after the event.
What kind of music is played at Prom? Can I make requests?
- We are excited to welcome back Luxx Entertainment, who has been our DJ for years. The committee works closely with the DJ to ensure no offensive music is played. There will be no profanity; Only "clean" or "radio" versions of songs will be played. Song requests will not be taken at the event. Please watch the Kalamazoo Homeschool Prom Facebook page for a song request thread.
Do we accept refunds on tickets?
- No, we do not accept refunds.
- If you and/or your guest are unable to attend the event, there will be a Buy/Sell thread on the Kalamazoo Homeschool Facebook page. You will be responsible for the transaction between buying and selling. You will also need to contact the committee so they can make any necessary changes to the tickets. If these changes do not get made before the event, the new ticket holder will not be able to attend the event.
Absolutely NO alcohol, drugs or vape pens are permitted!

Ticket Info
Only Homeschool Juniors ('26) & Homeschool Seniors ('25) may purchase tickets. **You may purchase ONE time as a Homeschool Junior ('26) and ONE time as a Homeschool Senior ('25). If you are going to homeschool for two years as a Junior or two years as a Senior then you must choose what two years will be your ticket purchase years. Our ticket purchase program will keep track of this for us. This parameter is put in place to give graduating Seniors ('25) and Juniors ('26) the most preference and try to deter students from just saying they are a Junior or a Senior so that they can purchase a ticket. Bottom line: you will be able to be a Prom Ticket Purchaser 2 times in your high school career, one time as a Junior and one time as a Senior.
For students in the Homeschool graduating class of 2025 (SENIORS ONLY) tickets will go on sale April 7 from 4:00PM -5:00PM. Each main ticket holder is allowed to purchase 1 additional ticket for a guest (at the same price). Each main ticket holder must be a current homeschooled student. Guests older than 20 years of age will not be permitted.
Monday, April 7 at 5:01 PM Ticket sales will open up to include JUNIORS as well (Class of 2026).
