DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS
FIRST IN FAMILY: This is a reception and ceremony honoring graduates who are the
first in their immediate family to graduate from high school. The immediate family is
defined as parent(s)/guardian(s) and siblings. During the ceremony honored graduates
are required to wear cap and gown. Brief in nature, the ceremony includes an official
presentation of graduates in which they receive a congratulatory gift and a certificate of
honor. Participants are required to sign up for the event.
THE SENIOR WALK: In its third year, this event is quickly becoming a school
tradition. After gathering to take the official senior class photograph, the seniors are
guided by administration on a parade route throughout the hallways of Haltom High
School. As they pass through the halls, seniors are greeted by cheers, posters and well
wishes from faculty, staff and the Haltom High School student body. The entire school
pauses on this day to recognize the graduating class and to bid them a fond fair well.
POWDER PUFF FOOTBALL GAME: This is an annual end of the year fund raising
flag football game, between the roughest, toughest all female teams of juniors vs.
seniors. To participate in this event, “athletes” must attend an informational meeting
and pay an entry fee of $20.00. All participants receive a commemorative t-shirt.
Coaches for the event are selected from the Haltom Buffalo Varsity Football Team. Like
all coaches, they demand their team members attend practices prior to the competition.
Don’t let the name fool you, it is a physical game, held at one of the districts official
football field. There is a $3.00 charge for entry to the game.

Guests who are not enrolled in a public school If a HHS student wants to bring a guest that is not currently
enrolled in a high school then the guest’s driver’s license must be run through the Raptor system in HHS’
main office. The Raptor system is used as a background check to help ensure the safety of our students. The
guest must have their ID cleared through that system and then have the designated AP sign their approval slip
before a dance ticket may be purchased for the guest. The HHS student may bring a copy of both sides of the
guest’s ID to school to accomplish this task before purchasing a dance ticket. The main
office closes at 3:00 p.m. each day.
The front office staff person will place Raptor sticker on the back of this sheet then the
student should take the form to Ms. Campbell/Edwardson for final approval.
Approved to purchase ticket: Ms. Campbell/Edwardson ____________________________
