Tickets will be sold online only, beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, February 10 through 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 22. Purchase Tickets

If you are purchasing a ticket for your guest who is a New Trier student, you will need the student’s last name and student ID number. Once you have added your information, you can add another student to the cart before checking out to complete your order.

Students will not be permitted to purchase tickets until outstanding fee bills have been paid.  Please contact the Business Office to satisfy those payments (847.784.3409 or feebills@nths.net). 

Tickets cost $20 per person. The ticket price includes DJ, activities, light snacks and festive decorations.

There will be no paper tickets. Individual ticket purchases are linked to each 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.

All students are required to have their current student ID cards at all school functions. Students may obtain a replacement ID card HERE.

To bring a guest who does not attend New Trier High School, you must download and fill out the Guest Request Form and present it in person no later than the end of the school day on Friday, February 21:

Winnetka Campus:  Activities Office in Room W021D

Northfield Campus:  Principal’s assistant in Room B230 

The guest, their parent/guardian, and an administrator from the guest’s school must sign the form. Guest tickets will be purchased in person using a credit card or check payable to NTHS. Guests must present a valid school ID or government photo ID to enter.

There is no defined dress attire. Past students’ tradition has been for juniors and seniors to wear group-themed costumes while sophomores and freshmen tend to wear semi-formal attire; however, we want students to wear attire that makes them feel most comfortable.

Student Parking on campus - Parking will be allowed in the lot south of the Cornog Auditorium (E Building) or the west lot off Happ Rd.  Parking is not allowed in the drop-off lanes in front of the Cornog Auditorium, outside the F Building just south of the stadium, or the D Building.

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

ADA Drop off and Entrance – ADA drop-off will be in the drop-off lane in front of the D Building, and ADA entry to the campus will be 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.  Current student ID cards are required for entry into the dance.  Guests must also bring a current photo ID to enter the dance.  There will be no in and out privileges and no admittance after 8:30 p.m.

At dances and other social events, New Trier’s first priority is to provide a fun and safe environment for our students.  We greet students as they arrive and work with the NTPA chaperones to make sure all students enjoy the dance in a healthy manner.  New Trier supervisors will 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 in lieu of entering the dance.

Parent Support: As our students prepare for this event, it is important that parents are involved in any plans. Your guidance is essential to ensure students do not engage in unsafe behavior.  

Parents should network with other parents regarding dance-related plans. Please talk with other parents about guidelines or questions you have about the evening.

As with all other school events, use of alcohol, tobacco, nicotine, vaping products, and other prohibited substances (as defined in our Student Guidebook) is strictly prohibited. In addition, each student attending the dance is expected to adhere to all school policies and rules.
