Dances
The school holds three dances every year. Homecoming is held at the city-owned Davenport River Center, a local convention center. Gala is held in the school cafeteria. Prom is held in the Starlight Ballroom on the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds. Some school groups occasionally hold other less formal dances typically held in the cafeteria.

Famous quotes containing the word dances:
“We have dancing ... from soon after sundown until a few minutes after nine o’clock.... Occasionally the boys who play the female partners in the dances exercise their ingenuity in dressing to look as girlish as possible. In the absence of lady duds they use leaves, and the leaf-clad beauties often look very pretty and always odd enough.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“I tell you the dances we had were really enough,
your hands on my breast and all that sort of stuff.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Now I am light, now I fly, now I see myself beneath myself, now a god dances through me.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
