The Spring Hill High School dress code seems tough and covers a wide range of issues. Here are some of the most interesting details:
Acceptable Attire in Maury County Schools
Pants, shorts, Capri pants, skirts, skorts, jeans, or jumpers in the colors of navy blue, black or any shade of khaki.
Shirts with short or long sleeves and a collar (polo, dress-style with buttons, or turtle neck), in the solid colors of white or navy blue.
All shirts should be properly buttoned and tucked inside of pants, shorts, skorts, or skirts.
Individual school may designate up to four additional colors for acceptable styles of shirts. SHHS’s four additional solid colors are Maroon (school color), Black, Heather Gray, and Khaki Tan.
If I’m reading this section correctly, all students must wear a white, navy blue, maroon, black, heather gray, or khaki collared shirt; they must wear navy blue, black, khaki, maroon, or heather gray bottoms; and, their shirt must be tucked in at all times. On the other hand, they allow jeans, shorts, and skirts.
I don’t know what your opinion is, but I would like to see a stricter policy. My thought is that it hard to think of yourself as a “thug” or “gangster” when you’re dressed nicely. Please comment below, and let me know your thoughts.
Here are few more notable items:
Full-length pants, cropped pants, and straight-legged capri pants are permitted. Pants, capri pants, and shorts must be dress style or casual-dress style (e.g., Dockers®). Jeans and/or pants must be straight-leg or boot cut.
Pants, shorts, skirts, and skorts with elastic waistbands must be worn at the waist and do not require a belt. All other pants, shorts, skirts, and skorts must be worn at the waist, and those with belt loops must be worn with a belt.
T-shirts with or without sleeves must be worn as undergarments. They must be solid white, navy blue, maroon (school color), black, heather gray, and khaki tan and may not display any writing, picture or images.
“Cargo” shorts or pants, or hooded garments are not permissible. This restriction does not apply to after-school activities such as athletic events.
Hats, bandanas, hood worn on head, sweatbands, curlers, rollers, gloves, and sunglasses will not be permitted except for medical reasons.
Extreme facial makeup that is disruptive to the educational environment will not be allowed.
