The Events!

Formal- This is our most formal event.
This is the most appropriate time for
tuxedos and formal dresses, although
they are not required.!
!
Prom- While still a dressy event, tuxedos
are usually not worn, and dresses might
be slightly less formal.

Formal and Prom Dress Code!
The standard of dress at all BCHS formal
functions is designed to encourage
modesty and avoidance of extremes that
some might find distracting or offensive.
These guidelines are in no way to serve
as a gauge of spirituality. !
!
Girls’ Attire!
!
Length- Skirts and dresses must be no
shorter than 6 inches from the floor
when kneeling. Length is measured
according to solid fabric, not lace or
sheer fabric. Slits must observe the same
guidelines.!
!
!
!
!
!
All students, whether enrolled at BCHS
or a guest from another school are
