ATTENDEE & GUEST POLICY

Eligible high school students (grades 9–12) may bring one guest. Guests may be a current high school student (grades 9–12) or a high school graduate under age 21. Dates do not have to be homeschooled. Graduated guests must attend as the guest of an eligible student and must be registered and approved in advance; they may not purchase tickets independently.

Tennessee HEAT athletes in grades 6–8 are welcome to attend Homecoming but may not bring a date/guest. HEAT athletes are given the special privilege of attending before high school. To continue offering this opportunity while keeping Homecoming primarily a high school event, attendance by younger students must remain limited.

Tennessee HEAT is a Christian, biblically based organization. For this event, romantic/dating couples are limited to male/female couples. Same-sex dating couples are not permitted at Tennessee HEAT Homecoming.

Each person attending must have their own ticket.

This year’s Homecoming is designed to be a classy, semi-formal evening where students can dress up, dance, spend time with friends, and enjoy a true Homecoming experience together.

✨ HOMECOMING DRESS CODE

Please note: Parents are responsible for ensuring their student arrives in God-honoring attire that meets the dress code below. We intentionally allow room for parental judgment. If there is a concern with a student’s attire upon arrival, we will contact the parent and work together to find an appropriate solution.

LADIES

• Semi-formal dresses, skirts, dressy jumpsuits, or other appropriate semi-formal attire are welcome.

• NO GLITTER OR GLITTER-SHEDDING ATTIRE. Dresses, skirts, shoes, or accessories that shed loose glitter are not permitted. Glitter is extremely difficult to remove from the venue and creates an excessive cleanup burden. Sequins, rhinestones, metallic fabrics, and other non-shedding sparkle are welcome.

• Dresses and skirts must fully cover the buttocks with several inches of additional length below. Extremely short dresses or skirts that expose the uppermost thigh are not permitted. Slits must also maintain appropriate coverage.

• For shorter dresses and skirts, fitted spandex or dance shorts underneath are strongly encouraged for additional coverage while dancing and moving. Shorts worn underneath do not replace the dress-length requirement.

• Necklines must provide appropriate coverage. Plunging or excessively low necklines or attire that exposes significant cleavage are not permitted.

• Midriffs should remain covered. Dresses with cutouts should still provide appropriate coverage of the stomach, waist, and sides.

• Sheer or mesh material does not count as coverage in areas that are otherwise required to be covered.

• Attire that is excessively revealing or sheer is not appropriate for the event.

• Undergarments should not be visible.

• Attire should maintain appropriate coverage while standing, sitting, bending, walking, and dancing.

GENTLEMEN

• Dress pants or khakis with a collared shirt are appropriate.

• Suits, sport coats, ties, and bow ties are welcome but not required.

• No jeans, shorts, sweatpants, athletic wear, T-shirts, or other excessively casual attire.

FOOTWEAR

• Footwear should complement the overall semi-formal look. Dress shoes, heels, flats, boots, and clean fashion sneakers—including high-top sneakers—are all welcome.

• Crocs, slides, flip-flops, and other overly casual footwear are not appropriate for the semi-formal dress code.

❤️ EVENT BEHAVIOR & CONDUCT

Tennessee HEAT Homecoming is intended to be a fun, welcoming, and memorable evening for all students. Every student and guest is expected to conduct themselves with respect, kindness, and good judgment throughout the event.

• Students are expected to treat other students, chaperones, volunteers, venue staff, security personnel, and event staff with respect at all times.

• Appropriate dancing is welcome and encouraged! Sexually suggestive, vulgar, or otherwise inappropriate dancing or behavior will not be permitted.

• Public displays of affection must remain appropriate for a student event. Excessive or sexually suggestive physical contact is not permitted.

• Fighting, threats, intimidation, harassment, bullying, aggressive behavior, or behavior intended to provoke or escalate a confrontation will not be tolerated.

• Athletes from other homeschool athletic organizations—including teams that compete against Tennessee HEAT—are absolutely welcome to attend. We simply ask that athletic rivalries be left at the door. Trash talking, taunting, antagonizing another athlete or team, or behavior intended to provoke conflict will not be permitted. Friendly competition belongs on the field or court; Homecoming is a night for everyone to enjoy together.

• Students must remain within designated event areas and follow all directions given by chaperones, security personnel, and event staff.

• Alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco products, vaping products, weapons, and other prohibited or dangerous items are strictly prohibited for students and guests.

• Any safety concern, threat, or physical altercation will be taken seriously and addressed immediately. Students who violate event policies, refuse to follow the direction of event staff or security, or behave in a manner that threatens the safety or enjoyment of others may be removed from the event and a parent/guardian contacted.

• In the event of a physical altercation or other serious incident, event staff and security will determine the appropriate response based on the circumstances.

🛡️ SAFETY & SECURITY

Student safety is a top priority at Tennessee HEAT Homecoming.

A dedicated adult security team will be present and actively monitoring the event throughout the evening. The team is led by an experienced law-enforcement professional and includes individuals with extensive professional backgrounds in law enforcement, military service, and security.

In addition to the security team, adult chaperones and event volunteers will be present throughout the venue. Security personnel and event leadership will work together to monitor the event and designated surrounding areas and to address safety concerns or inappropriate behavior promptly.

Students are expected to immediately follow instructions given by security personnel, chaperones, or event leadership. Any threat to student safety will be taken seriously and addressed accordingly.

Parents and guardians can feel confident that safety and security have been intentionally planned and will be actively monitored throughout the entire event.
