Junior Class

• We'll have a JUNIOR CLASS MEETING on Wednesday, September 4 in the commons during Bulldog Period. It's at this meeting you'll learn everything there is to know about Class Rings and Letter Jackets. 
• Our Provider, Scholastic Images, will be on campus during lunch on the following dates:  August 21, October 2, November 6, January 8, February 5, and May 9.

• This is the year to start getting serious about these tests. I always suggest that students take each test at least once during their JUNIOR YEAR. 
• Students register for the SAT using their COLLEGE BOARD ACCOUNT on www.collegeboard.org.  Students register for the ACT using the following website:  www.act.org. 
• Any questions or concerns should be addressed to your student's Guidance Counselor.

• You will receive information from your guidance counselor(s) throughout the school year on filling out college applications, updating your Naviance profile, and asking your teachers for Letters of Recommendation.
• Be thinking about what to include in your Resume/CV, as well as what teachers you’d like to ask for Letters of Recommendation - each teacher has different expectations, so the sooner you ask, the better!

• As the traditional hosts of the Junior/Senior Prom, members of the Junior Class are asked to pay Junior Dues in the amount of $85. 
• Junior dues are paid on MY PAYMENTS PLUS. Search for "NGHS JUNIOR DUES" on the main landing page to access. 
• This $85 fee entitles you to the following:  
  • One Free Ticket to Prom 2025 Ticket — as opposed to $100 if you don't pay dues.
  • The official Junior Class T-Shirt. 
  • Complimentary admission to Leadership Development courses all year.

When is Prom 2025? Prom 2025 will be Saturday, May 10th 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.

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 Mrs. Holcombe to let her 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? Yes! In 2024, 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 2024, 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 11:00 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 Saturday, March 14, 2026.
