WCPSS and Green Hope High School Dress Code Policies
We are committed to providing a safe and orderly learning environment for all students. For this reason, we will continue to enforce a strict dress code. As you plan your school wardrobe, please review the WCPSS dress code policy (6410) and plan accordingly. This policy can be found on the web by going to www.wcpss.net/policy-files/index.html. It is important to note that in addition to the items listed in the WCPSS policy, Green Hope does not allow spaghetti straps, halters, or backless shirts. Students must not wear clothing that exposes the midriff, cleavage, or buttocks.
Appropriate dress is necessary in order to maintain an atmosphere that is conducive to learning and safety.
