The Spring Formal is an opportunity to come together for a night of memory making FUN! We start with a lovely full course meal, followed by dancing and activities. This event is open to ANY homeschooler who is a Freshman of at least 15 years of age by May 1, 2026 and has NOT graduated from high school. Please feel free to forward this information to any eligible homeschooler that may be interested in joining us! While some students will come with a date who is also homeschooled, the vast majority view this event as simply a special night to remember with their friends. Our goal is to bless homeschooled high school students with a very special evening where they can feel loved and treasured by the Body of Christ.

Attire

Dress can be formal attire or semi-formal. But PLEASE make your clothing choice the ESSENCE of MODESTY. It is essential that you see the dress code guidelines for ladies and that you are willing to comply with these guidelines. Ladies, these guidelines will be enforced out of respect for the Christian community we share. Gentlemen may wear dress pants, a dress shirt and tie or a suit if desired. Please, no jeans or shorts. Also, note that we do not have changing rooms or personal storage space available.

Registration

Registation is online and open February 13, 2026 at 9:00AM (or we sell out). The cost is $55 per student. Registration and payment must be completed NO LATER THAN MARCH 17, 2026. While registration is planned to be open for a month, we have sold out in the first couple days the past few years.

There will be no refunds after March 1, 2026 due to the extent of planning involved. All forms and fees are mandatory to participate in any portion of the evening. Please notify a committee member if you do not plan to participate in the entire event.

Be ready with salad and dessert selections during the registration process.

Business Donation

Students who are willing and able to obtain at least $100 in business donations to benefit the Spring Formal will have their registration fee of $55 waived. Please use the donation form. The top portion needs to be filled out by the donor and mailed with the donation to Jill Graham after filling out your online registration. The bottom portion of the form is to be filled out by the student and given to the donor as their receipt. Contact Jill with any questions. We are able to keep our student fee low because of generous donations from the community. Thank you!

Check-in

Check-in will begin at 5:00PM and run through 5:45PM. Please plan accordingly as we will not be allowing students into the building until that time. Dinner will then begin at 6:00PM followed by dancing and various activities. Students will not be permitted to leave until the event is over at midnight unless prior arrangments have been made with the committee.

Parent Pictures

Parents are invited inside the building at 11:40PM to grab pictures of the decor and their students. Please do not enter the building before that time (unless you have been asked to help with an activity). This allows us to start the evening on time, stay on schedule, and minimize distractions. We understand the excitment of seeing the decor and hope you will respect our decision to invite parents in at the end of the evening. The students are welcome to take pictures all through the evening and we will have an amazing photographer on hand who will take pictures throughout the entire evening and post them in an online gallery for you to review shortly after the event.
