HomeTown Gate App

OHVA uses HomeTown Ticketing for recording attendance for F2F events allowing students to receive credit for attending a miniumium of four F2F events each year.

Hosts of F2F events will need to download the HOMETOWN GATE app to access the event and check in attendees.

If wifi is not available or not working on your phone, print the Sign In Sheet (link in button below) for a back up.

Check out the HOMETOWN BUTTON below for downloading the HomeTown Gate App and checking in instructions.

Contact Julene Knudson with any concerns, questions, or assistance.
