The school district has a structured dress code policy which has been protested in 2016. This protest was featured on local news network WNEP. Students complained of it being too hot to wear the dress code. The school decided to make a revision that makes it even more hot by allowing guys to wear cargo pants and not allowing girls to wear sleeveless dresses. The school decided sleeveless dresses were distracting. Other rules in the dress code prohibit students from wearing jeans, shirts without collars and Hawaiian shirts.
