What should students wear?
Wear comfortable shoes and casual clothing with pockets to hold raffle tickets, your phone, etc. If you desire to change clothes after graduation for the party, please arrange to grab a clear bag that does not exceed 12”x6”x12” or one-gallon freezer bag (following US Bank Stadium’s Bag Policy) from your parents. Give your cap, gown & anything else you have with you to your family after the graduation ceremony.
What are students allowed to bring to the party?
Yourself, cell phone with your Senior Party ticket in Go Fan, student/photo ID, and Senior Party wristband! NO larger bags/backpacks (that exceed 12″x6″x12″), water bottles, food, or beverages are allowed into the party. If you have a medical reason to have a bag with you during the party, check in with security when you arrive at the party to have it tagged as approved. We will have a charging station if those cell phone batteries run low!
Are Graduates required to ride the bus back to the High School for the Party?
Yes, Graduates must ride the buses back to EPHS and enter EPHS at the Party entrance. The first buses will leave US Bank Stadium approximately 15-20 minutes after commencement ends. Please go to the first available bus line – it will be the only one with its door open. As soon as the bus is full, it will leave for the party.
Upon arrival at EPHS, buses will stop in parking lot A for anyone NOT going to the party to get off the bus. The buses will then move to the Activity Center stairs (by the football field) where students will offload and go directly inside, where their GoFan Senior Party ticket and student ID are checked. Students will NOT be allowed in the North Doors.
Many students leave their car in the high school parking lot, but you are NOT permitted to go to your car for any reason before entering or during the party.
What kind of food will there be?
It will be a long, but exciting day and by the time the Graduates arrive at the party, they are usually hungry so the first thing we do is feed them. We’ll have food (such as Buca (mac-n-cheese), Taco Bell (Tacos), Dominoes, Old Chicago, Jimmy Johns, Red Moon, Chick-Fil-A, McDonalds (cheeseburgers), BWW (wings). and various treats/desserts (such as fruit trays, Culvers, Nothing Bundt cakes, Crumbl cookies) available throughout the night. Plenty of drinks (pop, water and coffee) will be available to stay hydrated!
What activities are planned?
We have a variety of activities planned for the evening to meet the needs of all types. Activities include a casino, games, bingo, movies, spa services, live entertainment and many more surprises! We will also have an amazing raffle for items such as TVs, headphones, gift cards and much more!
What time is the party end?
The Party ends at 4AM. When you leave the party, please pick up your prizes from Bag Check. If you have a Senior Standout, it will also be in that area for you to take home with you.
What if students want to leave early?
Students are not permitted to leave before 4:00 AM without prior notification from their parents. Your parents must fill out and return an Early Release Form by Wednesday, May 28th. If a student leaves the party without permission, they forfeit any prize(s) they have won in the raffle. Many students leave their cars in the high school parking lot, but you are not permitted to go to your car for any reason during the party.
**Will there be security?
**Yes, we will have EPHS resource officers and EP police officers on staff during the event. We will also have parent volunteers assigned to monitor exits and circulate throughout the event.
What if discipline issues a rise with a student?
If during the party any discipline issues arise with a student, they forfeit any prize(s) they have won in the raffle and parents will be called to come and pick them up immediately.
