2010 Homecoming Dance Survey Results The Nevarmore conducted a survey through SurveyMonkey.com
to gather student opinion on style of dance in general and in relation to this year’s Homecoming dance. First, an email was sent to five seniors to test the process, gather feedback on the questions in general and ensure that each student could only use the link to the survey one time. Then, SGA President Patrick Bailey made an announcement at morning on Friday, November 19th informing the students that if they would like to be a part of the survey, they should check their Ravenscroft email from home or from school and click on the link to participate. He let them know that once they opened the link, it would not reopen.
The survey was released and announced intentionally on a Friday so
students could complete the survey in the privacy of their own home if they would like to do so. The survey was closed for responses at the end of the day on Tuesday, November 23rd and 234 students participated in our survey. Two different versions of the results are posted below: Overall responses; Students that attended the 2010 Homecoming dance.
