dress code

When student returned to school on Aug. 11, the Clarke Central High School administration held class meetings to discuss expectations for the upcoming school year, including dress code. Assistant Principal Sheila Dunham discusses the dress code, its effect on students and how teachers and administration are going to enforce it.

Although there is currently not a physical education uniform, teachers believe if it was enforced in the future, it would be beneficial.

The sound of a fist pounding on wood startles the students in the classroom. They look up from their work. The door creaks open and static is heard from a walkie talkie. “Any dress code infractions?” An administrator asks the teacher, as the students in shorts try to slump low into their desks.
