We, at Forest Hill, are concerned about your academic achievement as well as your safety.  Generally, it is accepted that cleanliness, good grooming, and appropriate dress are necessary to reduce distraction, promote health and provide a productive learning atmosphere.  As such, extremes in dress and personal appearance, which tend to cause distractions or pose health problems, will not be tolerated at Forest Hill Community High School.  

As a general rule, all styles of clothing designated for a specific non-school activity or designed to call undue attention to the wearer are not appropriate at school.  The following regulations set limits on what is permissible:

• ALL students must wear lanyard/ clip with their school issued ID at ALL TIMES.
• Polo style or t-shirts with sleeves are required.  Approved FHCHS t-shirts are allowed. (This does not include P.E. t-shirts).  Undershirts are NOT to be longer than the school shirt.  Please note: when wearing jackets or sweaters you MUST have an appropriate school shirt underneath your jacket or sweater.  No sleeveless shirts or see-through fabrics will be permitted.  College attire is allowed especially on SDPBC AVID College Wear Wednesdays.
