Any student or guest found in possession of or under the influence or
demonstrating inappropriate behavior will forfeit his/her evening during
prom, with no refunds. Depending on behavior, BHS students may be suspended
from school, and may not participate in the Graduation ceremony, and may be
subject to arrest.

Anyone violating these rules will be denied a refund, may be denied entry
