Glenbrook North’s Junior Class Board is pleased to announce prom will be held at Chevy Chase Country Club, located at 1000 N Milwaukee Ave, in Wheeling. Prom includes dinner and dancing with music provided by Bizar Entertainment. The dance is chaperoned by GBN administrators, staff and a police liaison officer.  

Please review the important information regarding the purchase of prom tickets and prom guidelines:

    • Prom tickets are $100 per person. Cash, credit cards and checks are all acceptable forms of payment. 
    • Students may purchase tickets in the GBN bookstore from April 21- May 2
    • School identification is necessary ticket purchases. Student's 2024-25 IDs must be presented for the student and their date. 
    • Permission slips for underclassmen or students attending from another school must be signed and approved by the Dean’s Office before purchasing a ticket. All attendees must be current high school students and/or under the age of 21. No dates over the age of 20 are allowed.
    • If you or your guest have any food allergies or dietary restrictions, please fill out this form.  If we do not receive this request by May 3, your accommodations may not be possible.

    • Once students leave Chevy Chase, they will not be allowed to reenter. 
    • Due to issues related to safety and security, students cannot bring bags into the venue, nor will they be able to have parents bring bags at the end of the event. If students need to change after prom, it must occur at an alternative location to the country club.

We expect our students to follow the tenets of Class Act and look forward to this fun-filled evening! Please contact Mrs. Stefanie Basford at (847) 509-2555 if you have any questions.
