Woodside students are allowed to bring ONE guest, either a non-Woodside student or an underclassman (freshman or sophomore) provided a Guest Pass is properly obtained prior to the dance. A Guest Pass Request form will need to be completed for the underclassman or non-WHS high school student, and turned into the Junior/Senior AVPs office. Only high school students are welcome to attend the dance. All guest tickets will be sold at the guest price.

 

Guest Request Forms, also known as Guest Passes, may be picked up in D7 or on the school website and require the signature of the Woodside student's parents and the Vice Principal of the guest's school. When the Guest Pass Form is complete, the students are to turn it into their appropriate AVP for approval from the WHS administration. The Junior/Senior Woodside student will be given a slip that is to be brought to D7 to purchase a ticket. Guest pass forms will be due to the AVP’s office no later than Tuesday, April 1, 2025 by 4:00pm. It is suggested that people plan accordingly due to spring break dates for other schools. 

 

DANCE NIGHT:  Our dances are very well attended and safe.  Attire for this dance is formal; the dress code applies.  Students should bring the following with them to the dance: school ID, ticket receipt, guest pass slip (if applicable).  Food and drink are included in the ticket price. This year the dance will have a variety of food options so people are encouraged to bring an appetite.  Parent volunteers operate a coat check.  At the dance entrance, school administrators will perform and supervise the screening (bags/pockets/breathalyzed) of students.  Students are advised to avoid bringing large bags to the dance.  

 

Unfortunately there is very limited parking at the venue. THEREFORE STUDENTS ARE NOT TO DRIVE THEMSELVES. Students should be dropped off and picked up. Woodside High School is working to provide a bus to prom for those who need transportation, but space will be limited. More information will be made available.

Woodside High School is a fully accredited four-year comprehensive secondary school that has been serving the communities of the mid-peninsula since its opening in 1958. The 34-acre campus lies just east of the Santa Cruz Mountains and is one of four comprehensive campuses in the Sequoia Union High School District. The District’s total student population is
approximately 10,000.

The mid-peninsula is an area of great economic diversity containing some of the most affluent and the most economically deprived communities in the state. Just north of Silicon Valley and Stanford University, Woodside High School is influenced greatly by the rapidly evolving business and cultural interests of the region. Over the past half-century, Woodside High School has
emerged as one of the most dynamic and diverse comprehensive high schools on the San Francisco peninsula. We have been listed in Newsweek Magazine’s list of top high schools, and offer one of the most rigorous advanced placement college preparatory programs in the region.
