The Lee County Board of Education believes that for students to be able to receive effective quality instructions schools must be safe, orderly, friendly, and business like. The student dress code applies during regular school hours and at school sponsored events. Dress for students in high school should be appropriate for school wear. Students are expected to be clean, neat, and well groomed. Students should dress in such a way as to not endanger their health or safety or interfere with school work or with that of other students and teachers. The BHS Dress Code states that walking shorts and pants will be permitted with the following guidelines: They are appropriate for school dress; They are proper size and fit; and they must be at pelvic bone height(no-slacking) and mid thigh length. Shorts and pants must be worn with a belt if appropriate. ALL shirts must be tucked into pants, shorts, etc.

 In general the following will be unacceptable: short shorts, mini skirts, fad clothing with holes, tears or rips, gang clothing, bathing apparel, beach wear, gym shorts, exposed backs and fronts, or tobacco advertisements. No sunglasses are to be worn inside the building or inside a classroom.

 Students in violation of this dress code will have to call home immediately for clothes to be brought. The Administration will make the final decision on the appropriateness of the students dress. Parents are and will be held ultimately responsible for students dress.
 
 

Many schools have began to have stricter dress codes. The recent dress code changes have mainly been because of student violence. Researchers have found that using Dress Codes effectively do help promote safety.

Dress Codes in different schools vary. For Example: Students in Los Angeles High School are not allowed to wear Starter® Coats that are Georgetown Hoyas, Los Angeles Kings, or Oakland Raiders; Students in Boones County High School(Northern Kentucky) have to wear uniforms; and Students in some schools may only be refrained to wearing Blue Jeans and T-shirts. Although some students, parents, and even teachers may think these rules are a little harsh, they are put in effect for everyone's safety.
