High School Senior Suspended for Attending Girlfriends Prom

In Findlay, Ohio, a student at a school that forbids dancing, rock music, holding hands, and kissing will risk suspension if he takes his girlfriend to her high schools public prom. However, even with this warning 17 year old Tyler Frost plans on attending the prom anyway. Frost is a senior at Heritage Christian School in Ohio, and agreed to these rules when he signed a statement of cooperation in the beginning of the year. According to Frost he approached the situation the right way because Findlay, Ohio requires students from other schools to get a signature from their principal which Frost did do. Although his principal signed the form, he still proceeded to warn Frost about the punishments if he still attends the dance. Frost was scheduled to get his diploma on May 24, however, because of his suspension for going to prom he received "incompletes" on all remaining assignments for the year and would not be allowed to attend his own graduation ceremony. However, after completing final exams, he will still receive his diploma.
