Dear Harvest-Lantana High School Students and Parents, 

​

Harvest Christian Academy utilizes a uniform dress code and other guidelines to promote unity and modesty. In an effort to host a fun, appropriate events, HCA has set guidelines. The following are guidelines for ALL students attending the HCA Homecoming Dance. Please review carefully, sign below acknowledging that you understand the guidelines, and return to School Office in time to reserve your ticket(s). 

 

2026 HOCO THEME: “Dancing Through the Decades”

 

MALES 

• Pants: Slacks or Jeans

• Button down shirt

• Closed-toe shoes

 

FEMALES- Dress, Skirt, and Shirt Guidelines

• Absolutely no cleavage or plunging necklines

• Length must be at least fingertip length (sheer fabric does not count when measuring length) 

• Slits cannot be higher than fingertip length

• Backless dresses/tops are permitted if they go no lower than the smallest part of the natural waist. This guideline also 

applies to cutouts 

• Clothing should not be exceedingly tight 

• Strapless dresses and spaghetti straps are acceptable

• You must wear appropriate undergarments, which should not show (either through dress, or peeking out) 

• No sheer or see-through clothing

 

Stipulations to attend Homecoming are: 

1. All HCA students (male and female) must turn in a contract signed by themselves and a parent/guardian in order to be permitted to purchase tickets. 

2. If a student is bringing a date from outside the HCA student body, it is the HCA student’s responsibility to sign a contract and communicate the guidelines to their outside dates. 

3. This is a 9th-12th grade event only, therefore no junior high dates, high school graduates, or individuals not enrolled in any school (recent Harvest graduates will be approved on a case-by-case basis)

4. All students attending the event will stay until it is officially over, unless we have written authorization from a parent giving a time of early departure. Students must stay in the building for the entire event. 

5. All females (including guests from outside HCA) must bring their dress to campus to try on for approval.

• Keep in mind that most gowns/dresses of this nature are often not returnable. Use good judgement when purchasing your dress. 

• Leave plenty of time for alternations before the event, in case they are required by administration. The student will be asked to try the dress on again after alterations are completed. 

• Many students have found that buying 2-3 dresses (that are all returnable) is helpful for quick approval

 

As specified in our handbook, administration has the final say and can use their discretion when approving or rejecting a dress for an event. 

1. Students wearing dresses that have not been pre-approved by HCA administration will not be permitted to enter the event. 

2. Female students who do not get prior approval of their dress will not be permitted to reserve / purchase a ticket.
