We understand every student’s mode of dress and grooming is a manifestation of personal style and individual preference. At CHS, we take pride in our students. Dress reflects personal integrity and implies attitudes toward self, school, and conduct. Therefore, we expect students to dress and groom neatly in apparel suitable for school activities. We will not interfere with the right of students and their parents to make decisions regarding their appearance except when their choices affect the educational program of the school or the health and safety of others.
Clothing that is disruptive or that detracts from the educational process or is destructive to school property is inappropriate. Because the school environment is a workplace, acceptable clothing for school may be different from clothing that may be worn in other environments. State health standards require footwear to be worn at all times when on school campuses.
When in doubt, parents and students should select more conservative clothing. Students deemed inappropriate in their attire will be directed to the administration office to obtain acceptable clothing, and it may result in further disciplinary action. We will notify parents of repeat offenses.
Students who volunteer for extracurricular activities, such as athletics, band, chorus, et cetera, are subject to the standards of dress as defined by the sponsors of such activities.
School administrators will make the final decision regarding the appropriateness of any student’s appearance. Any apparel, which the administration determines to be unacceptable in light of community standards is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to clothing that offends or disrupts the educational process.
Students who violate the dress code policy are subject to the disciplinary code.
