The goal of the Cleburne High School dress code is to have a school conducive to learning, to prepare our students to enter the world of work knowing how to appropriately dress for success and to instill discipline. All students shall avoid dress and/or grooming that poses any hazard to the welfare, health, or safety of themselves or others. Articles of clothing which are distracting or disruptive to the educational atmosphere of the school are prohibited.

Purpose: The campus dress code should address grooming, instill discipline, prevent disruption, avoid safety hazards and instill respect for authority.

Guidelines: Students shall be dressed in a manner that is clean and neat. Any clothing that, in the principal's judgment, may cause disruption of normal school operations is prohibited.

1. Shirt tails may be worn un-tucked as long as the hemmed length does not go below the wrist while the student is standing, if the shirt tail hangs below the wrist while standing the shirt tail will have to be tucked in. All shirts, sweatshirts and sweaters must cover the midriff area. No lewd, offensive, vulgar or obscene language will be allowed on any garment. In addition, no alcoholic beverage or tobacco advertising will be allowed. Sleeveless apparel with a finished edge may be worn if the garment comes to the shoulder edge and has a standard sized arm hole. Muscle shirts, tank tops, halter tops, strapless garments, backless garments, and bare midriff garments shall not be worn. Any garment frayed at neckline, hem or armhole area will not be permitted.

2. All pants will be worn at the waist level. Pants/jeans/short must be hemmed, free of holes, splits and fraying. No spandex or tear-away pants will be allowed. Shorts or split skirts may be worn provided that the length is not shorter than four inches above the top of the knee cap. Dress and/or skirt length (including the slit) should also be no shorter than four inches above the top of the knee cap.

3. Caps, hats, bandanas, or other headgear shall not be worn inside the school building.

4. Shoes, boots or sandals must be worn.

5. Boys are prohibited from wearing earrings. Females are only allowed to wear earrings in their ear lobes. Jewelry for any other form of body piercing is not allowed. Distracting jewelry or decorations will not be allowed. Chains may not be worn.

6. Trench coats and dusters will not be allowed.

7. Hair must be natural color. No fluorescent or unnatural hair colors.

8. Students are allowed to have cell phones but must be turned off while on campus. Improper use of a cell phone may result in the phone being taken up. The consequence for improper use of a cell phone will result in the phone being taken up and turned in to the office where a parent or guardian will be required to pick the phone up prior to the start of school or at the end of the school day. Each time thereafter a phone is used improperly will result in a $15 fine before the phone will be returned to parents.
