Wednesday, May 29, 6 p.m.: The Senior Prom/Reception. The Winchester High School Prom will take place at The Danversport Yacht Club. The prom evening begins at the high school. All prom guests will be required to attend a thirty minute Pre-Prom Reception in the WHS cafeteria. Doors to the reception will open at 6:00 pm and remain open until 6:30 p.m. The reception allows parents and seniors to see classmates before the prom and provides an opportunity for photos. Each WHS senior will need to have at least one of his/her own parents or guardians sign in. If one member of the couple comes from another class or from out-of-town, the parent of the senior will take responsibility for that person. We follow this process to ensure that the prom is safe, and alcohol and drug free. Any senior who violates the WHS substance abuse policy at the prom will not attend the senior luau and graduation. 

Students and parents should enter through the auditorium door in the front of the building, and check in with the Junior parents, stationed outside the WHS auditorium doors, who will issue them a 'time card' for the reception. We encourage students and parents to arrive at the same time. The timed entry card will not be issued until parents and students are together. Once they have the time card, students and parents will proceed down the main hallway toward the cafeteria. The purse check-in area and the sign-in desk will be outside the cafeteria. Purses will be collected and made available to the students once they are at the Yacht Club. The students will then proceed into the cafeteria and the parents can proceed to the senior parent viewing area. Students will be required to stay at the reception for thirty minutes.

After the thirty minutes, students should listen to the chaperone announcements and line up for the promenade. The promenade will proceed from the cafeteria, down the hallway to the red staircase doors, and out to the buses on Skillings Rd. Students may walk in couples or in small groups. Students can also opt out of walking through the promenade and take an alternate route to the buses.  As soon as a bus fills with students, it will depart to Danversport.  All students are required to go to and from the prom on a bus. Any student not taking the bus will not be allowed into the yacht Club. At the conclusion of the prom, buses will begin to board at 11:15 p.m. Buses should arrive back at the high school by 11:45.
