High School Cut List?

I am on the cut list for school and I wont be able to go to prom if Im on it. My homeroom teacher put me on it, even though he admits to marking me absent for a day I was there. Now that he put me on it, he says he isn't able to take me off, and that it would be illegal for him to do so. I have talked to the princicle, vice principle and counselor all say that he is the one with power to remove my name from the cut list, and that it isn't illegal to do so. What should I do?

However, it won't be good to have to defend your attendance record "We gee I know I missed all those times but...
