No, STA, NCS, and Beauvoir are all part of the Cathedral family and have a strong relationship that is getting even stronger. NCS and STA will always have a special connection.

If you asked any random Upper Schooler at STA, you'd hear a much different take...

So they can only date people from the Cathedral schools? Date a STA boy or go stag?

Of course not. But I do thnk it would be awkward for an NCS girl to bring a non-STA student as a date to the STA Homecoming Dance.

Right, which underscores the separateness of the schools, making the stag appearance also awkward.

The NCS Homecoming dance is treated as a mixer -- not semi formal with dates. STA Homecoming has always been semi formal with dates. NCS has a "winter formal" that is semi-formal and date-oriented and was not open to all STA students. Now STA has given an open invitation to all NCS girls to their Homecoming and I believe I heard all the STA boys will be invited to that winter formal at NCS. I'd be surprised if large numbers of kids went solo to either event, given the tradition of bringing dates. But good to have the option.

Great job NCS STA!! You are now solidly in the 1980's.

I'm confused. Can NCS girls bring a date from another school or only go solo or with a boy from STA?

Not with either school, but my guess is that it would work as follows:

For STA Homecoming: An STA boy could bring a girl from any school (not just NCS) or go stag. An NCS girl could attend stag or as a date of an STA boy.

For NCS Homecoming: An STA boy could attend stag or as date of NCS girl. An NCS girl could attend stag or bring a date from any school.

Seems to me to be a fair way to handle the dilemma of a single sex school and having the option to attend a dance stag and still meet people of opposite sex.

According to the Ncs dean it has always allowed sta boys to come stag.

Why don't they just have joint dances? Allowing kids from either school to come alone or with a date, from their own school, the other school, or a third school? Seems less complicated!

Less complicated, yes, but it would destroy the illusion some NCS parents have about the "special relationship" between NCS and STA. Why that is so important to some parents is what I have never understood.

What's so wrong with having a "traditional dance," where students have a date?
