  • Junior Dues

    As the traditional host of the Prom, members of the Junior Class are responsible for the majority of the cost of the Prom. As a result, Juniors are asked to pay dues ($85).

    What does Junior Dues Pay for?  Most of the cost of Prom your Junior  and Senior Year (ticket sales make up the rest).  Paying Junior Dues will get you a free ticket for Junior Prom and a discounted ticket Senior Year ($20 as opposed to $100).  Discounted admission to the Homecoming Dance ($10 instead of $20 for those who don't pay Junior Dues).  


    Payment for Junior Dues will be made using the MyPayments Plus System. (www.mypaymentsplus.com).

  • NGHS Prom FAQ

    When is Prom 2024?  Prom 2024 will be Saturday, May 4 at the Gas South District in Duluth.  

    Why do I have to pay Junior Dues?  Junior Dues pay for some of the cost of producing the Prom.  We use Junior Dues as the primary fundraising tool for Prom--which keeps the ticket price low for everyone who pays their class dues ($20 as opposed to $105 for those who don't pay dues).  

    I transferred to NGHS during my Senior Year. Do I have to pay Junior Dues? Since Junior Dues pays for part of the prom Junior and Senior Year, Senior Transfer students are asked to pay 1/2 of the original fee--before all the late fees were added in.

    I really want to come to the Prom but I can't afford it. What should I do? At NGHS, we want everyone to be able to enjoy the Prom. Contact your guidance counselor ASAP to discuss some options.

    I am technically classified as a Sophomore but I earned enough credit for Junior status after Fall Semester and I will graduate at the end of next year. Can I come to the Prom? Yes. Just have your guidance counselor e-mail Mr. Stewart to let him know of your change in status. 

    Do I have to pay more if my date doesn't go to NGHS? Date tickets are $50.  

    Do I have to pay more if my date is a freshman or sophomore at NGHS? Date tickets are $50

    Is it OK to come to the Prom solo? In 2023, 75% of the people who purchased tickets did so with groups of friends instead of a specific date!

    Is there a dress code for the Prom? Yes. This is a formal event and the attire should reflect that formality.

    Will there be chaperones at the Prom? Absolutely. There is a very visible adult presence at the Prom. In 2023, this included the following: 3 uniformed Gwinnett Police Officers, 12 School Resource Officers, 30 adult chaperones, 9 NGHS administrators, and over 120 NGHS teachers/staff.

    Will food be available at the Prom? YES! 

    I'm picking my child up after the Prom, what time should I be there? The prom is over at 11:00pm. Please arrive no later than 11:00pm.

    Does North Gwinnett sponsor any sort of after prom function? No. Many families host after-parties for their student but NGHS does not sponsor an after party.

    When is next year's Prom?  PROM 2025 (May 3), Prom 2026 (May 2), Prom 2027 (May1)
