When is Prom 2026?  Prom 2025 will be Saturday, May 2 from 8-11 pm at the Gas South District in Duluth. 

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 Mrs. Holcombe and Dr. Grodzicki to let them know of your change in status.

Do I have to pay more if my date doesn't go to NGHS? Date tickets are determined by the date they are purchased. Tickets purchased in March are $75, and tickets purchased in April are $100.

Do I have to pay more if my date is a freshman or sophomore at NGHS? You do not. Date tickets are determined by the date they are purchased. Tickets purchased in March are $75, and tickets purchased in April are $100. 

Is it OK to come to the Prom solo? Yes! In 2025, 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 2025, 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 dinner be available at the Prom? Dinner will not be served; however, dessert and beverages will be provided.

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

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

When is next year's Prom? Mark your calendars! Next year’s prom is scheduled for May 8, 2027.
