Halloween Day and Howl Expectations

On October 29, 2022, Hillcrest High School will have the Husky Howl Dance (Halloween Dance). Tickets will be sold during lunches in the cafeteria. As part of our school-wide efforts to keep students safe, we are requiring students who want to bring a date or friend from another school, to fill out the Guest Request Form.  

There will be provided copies of this form in the main office for students to pick up. Students will be asked to provide a student ID to enter the dance. If students do not provide their ID, they will not be allowed in the dance. Students coming from other schools must bring their ID along with the Guest Request Form. If they cannot produce those, they will not be allowed in the dance. 

Hillcrest students must accompany a Guest. This means the ratio must be 1 Hillcrest student to every 1 Guest Student. No exceptions are allowed.

School Dance and Halloween Day Dress Code Requirements

For those students who would like to dress up for the Halloween Dance (Husky Howl) or Halloween day, they are more than welcome to, as long as they follow the guidelines listed below. Regular school rules regarding the dress code must be followed.

  • Students must show respect to other students by not touching, defacing, or insulting other students’ costumes.
  • Students must show respect for others by not choosing costumes that are insensitive and/or offensive to the diverse backgrounds represented by others at our school.
