To ensure safety and sportsmanship within our athletic complex, the following guidelines have been created. We ask all Dragon fans, of all ages, to abide by these guidelines. Thank you for being a part of Dragon Nation! Go Dragons!

Student Spectator Guidelines

Johnston students are assigned to sit in assigned areas of the home side (west side) of Dragon Stadium:

  1. Elementary: South end of the top bleachers
  2. Summit and Middle School: North end of the top bleachers
  3. Marching Band: Fill in the lower bleachers from the North first leading south
  4. High School students: Fill remaining seats on the lower bleachers after the band

Any elementary, Summit/JMS, or high school students who are not sitting with their parents or guardians must sit in their designated section. One elementary, middle school, and three high school building administrators are assigned to a student section for each game and will be enforcing the seating arrangements.

We DO NOT allow elementary-age students (up to grade 5) to be dropped off at the stadium. They must be with an adult. That adult can bring other students in with them besides their own children. No drinks are allowed in the stadium and all bags will be checked by security prior to entering the stadium.
