That said, living in a place like Pennsylvania, it's a bit impractical to not let my kids go out with non-LDS kids once they are of age.

I would emphasize the importance of temple marriage, but also counsel them not to date exclusively while in high school. I would probably try to direct them towards just having fun social experiences while in HS. As long as that's all it is I wouldn't have a problem with them going to a dance or something with a non member as long as they're a good person who will respect their beliefs and standards.
