Before purchase, please be sure that any outstanding fees are paid, and all detentions have been served. Tickets will be sold online. Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores may purchase tickets from 8:00 a.m. September 15 - September 27, until 8:00 p.m. Purchase tickets here. 

Please contact the Business Office to complete those payments (847-784-3409 or feebills@nths.net) and the Graduating Class Team Adviser Chair for unserved detentions.

Tickets are $20 per person, which includes the DJ and activities. There will be no paper tickets; each ticket purchase is linked to a student’s unique ID. Students can use their current student ID cards to scan in at the door or download the 5 Star Student ID App to scan into the dance using the digital barcode on their phone. Students who need a replacement ID card can obtain one before the event.

To bring a guest who does not attend New Trier, students must complete the Guest Request Form and submit the completed form IN PERSON to the Activities Office in room W021D on the Winnetka Campus no later than the end of the school day on Friday, September 26.  The form must be signed by the guest, their parent/guardian, and an administrator from the guest’s school. Guest tickets must be purchased in the Activities Office (credit card or check made payable to NTHS).  Guests are required to bring a current photo ID to enter the dance.

The dress traditions for this event have been shaped by students. Juniors and seniors often wear group-themed costumes, while sophomores typically choose semi-formal attire. However, it is entirely up to each student to wear what they feel is comfortable and appropriate.  

Student Parking on campus: Parking is available in the lot south of the Cornog Auditorium (E Building) or the west lot off Happ Road. Parking is not allowed in the drop-off lanes in front of the Cornog Auditorium, the stadium, or the D Building.

Student Drop-off: Drop-off will be in the athletics drop-off lane outside the F Building, just south of the stadium.  

ADA Drop-off: ADA drop-off will be in the drop-off lane in front of the D Building, with ADA entry to the campus between the D Building and the Cornog Auditorium off Happ Road.

Entrance to Dance: Students will enter the dance from the ground-floor doors of the F Building (F2 & F3). The main level gym doors (F8) will be available for ADA access only.  A current student ID card is required for entry and will be scanned at the door. Guests must also bring a current photo ID to enter the dance.  There will be no in-and-out privileges and no admittance after 8 p.m.

At dances and other social events, New Trier’s priority is to provide our students with a fun and safe environment.  We greet students as they arrive and work with the NTPA chaperones to ensure everyone enjoys the dance in a healthy and positive way.  New Trier supervisors may require random students to take a breathalyzer test; bags and vehicles may also be searched.  Students will not be allowed to remain in cars, buses, or limousines instead of entering the dance.

Parent Support: As our students prepare for this event, it is important for parents to be involved in the planning. Your guidance is crucial in helping ensure that students engage in safe and appropriate behavior. 

We encourage parents to connect with other parents regarding Homecoming-related plans and discuss any guidelines or questions you might have about the evening.

As with all school events, the use of alcohol, tobacco, nicotine, vaping products, and other prohibited substances (as defined in the Student Guidebook) is strictly prohibited and will result in consequences. Additionally, all students attending the Homecoming Dance are expected to adhere to all school policies and rules.

We appreciate your support in helping our students set expectations and parameters for an enjoyable and safe Homecoming. 

The Homecoming Rallies are a Trevian tradition for New Trier students only, allowing students to come together to celebrate school spirit and Trevian pride. This year’s Homecoming Rallies will take place during the school day on Thursday, September 25, at the Winnetka campus, and on Friday, September 26, at the Northfield campus. We will follow the Student Rally Special Bell Schedule on these days. 

Throughout the week, there are several athletic events for students to attend. Check the Athletic schedule for a complete list.
