UINTAH HIGH SCHOOL DANCE DRESS CODE

In general, Uintah High School Student Council considers Semi-formal as a step below formal. A Semi-formal dance or event is a dressy occasion, and a higher standard of dress applies to all who attend, including students, chaperons, administration, ticket takers, photographers, and other staff and visitors as called for by the dance or event organizers.
