Brookwood High School
Dress Code

The Board and administration further recognize the importance of personal rights and privileges of each individual student in the school system; however, individual rights stop where the rights of the group (the school) begins; no student has the right to dress or appear in such a manner that disrupts the teaching-learning process.

·  No hats of any kind allowed on campus.

·  Dresses, skirts and shorts must be worn at the knee even with leggings.

·  Tight fitting garments may not be worn (leggings, yoga pants, etc).

·  Clothing with inappropriate logos or messages may not be worn at school.

·  Destination shirts may be worn as long as drugs are not printed on the item and it does not explicitly state that a drink on the clothing item is alcoholic.

·  Clothing or personal items associated with gang affiliation or gang activity are prohibited.

·  Pants that reveal undergarments may not be worn.

·  Torn or ripped clothing is acceptable as long as the hole does not show any skin above the knee.

·  Belts and pants must be fastened at the waist; overalls must be properly fastened.

·  Safe footwear must be worn at all times. Slick or shoes that roll may not be worn at anytime on school grounds.

·  Clothing that reveals the stomach and/or chest may not be worn at anytime.

·  Pants or clothing that are see-thru or excessively too small may not be worn.

·  Students are not allowed to wear halter tops, strapless shirts, spaghetti straps, razorback shirts or tank tops.

Dress Code Acknowledgement

I watched and understand the Dress Code video. I have been made aware and understand the consequences if I fail to follow the dress code policy established by the Tuscaloosa County School System and Brookwood High School. I will consult with an administrator before wearing questionable attire.
