Dress for Success: School Dress Code Updated for 2021-22
The Cherokee County
School Board approved an
updated student Code of
Conduct for the 2021-22
school year with changes to
the dress code.
The changes, requested
by School Board members,
are designed to simplify
the rules to increase understanding
and adherence;
make the dress code more
equitable across genders;
and set more specific guidelines
to ensure the dress
code is fairly enforced.
Superintendent of Schools
Dr. Brian V. Hightower
said, after school resumes,
he plans to convene an ad
hoc committee made up
of students, parents and
staff to further review the
dress code and propose any
additional recommended
changes.
