DRESS CODE POLICY: (download)

Greeneville High School takes pride in the appearance of its students and faculty. Your dress reflects the quality of your school and the values of the community. All students are expected to dress and groom themselves neatly in a manner suitable for school activities. The student’s hair should not be worn so that it covers the face and/or eyes. We ask that all students use good judgment and discretion in the choice of what is worn at school. When a student is attired in a manner that does not meet the school dress standards, or is likely to cause disruption or interference with the operation of the school, the student will be sent home and not readmitted until he/she is properly attired or groomed. Additional consequences will also be administered according to the GHS discipline policy. The administration will decide what is appropriate in each case.

Specific dress code guidelines for secondary students are as follows:
  1. Shoes must be worn at all times because of health and safety reasons. Footwear should be subject matter appropriate.
  2. Shirts, tee shirts, or caps with pictures, drawings, words or implied references to illegal substances, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, vulgar or profane language, sexual connotations, violence or questionable slogans may not be worn at school.
  3. No headgear such as hats, toboggans, headbands, bandanas, hoods, etc. are to be worn by male or female students while in the building or attending classes. Nonprescription sunglasses and tinted prescription glasses are prohibited.
  4. Muscle shirts, tank tops, midriff shirts, halter-tops, tube tops, and spaghetti strap tops are not appropriate in the school environment. Tops may be sleeveless; however, they must have a minimum 2” shoulder seam. (They may be measured by the width of a credit card or student ID.) The material must be at or near the base of the neck as to modestly cover the chest area. The wearing of coats or rain jackets over inappropriate tops or any material that allows inappropriate attire to be seen is not acceptable
  5. The length of shorts, dresses, and skirts must be moderate and appropriate for an academic setting. Shorts, dresses, and skirts, including any slits, must be no shorter than 4 inches above the kneecap level around the leg. This standard still applies even when wearing leggings.
  6. Clothing which allows undergarments to be visible is not allowed. Pants must be worn at or near the waist. Clothing must not expose the stomach, midriff or back area.
  7. The wearing of personal adornments or embellishments that may be disruptive, cause health/safety problems, or may be related to gang attire is not acceptable. (Ex. Chains, dog collars, studded bands, etc.) No facial piercing adornments are permitted except the ears. Band-Aids covering the adornments are not acceptable. Students who are considering facial piercing should consider healing time that doesn’t coincide with school days.
