Dress Code

Dress Code
   It is expected that every student will maintain the level of personal hygiene and safety necessary to ensure a healthy school environment, and will refrain from any mode of dress which is distracting to classroom instruction or which contributes to the disruption of the normal function of the school.  The dress code applies to all school functions.  North Cobb High School complies with the dress code policies of the Cobb County School District.    School officials will make the interpretation of what is acceptable dress. 

 The following types of clothing are considered inappropriate at North Cobb:
  No headgear is to be worn in the school building during the school day.  This includes hats, bandanas (regardless of color), do-rags, caps, hoods, scarves, sunglasses, and forehead bands.  The hoods of hooded sweatshirts are not allowed on your head while in the building.
   Clothing or ornamentation, which advertises alcohol or substances that are illegal for, minors, or which displays suggestive phrases, designs, markings, or profanities are also prohibited. 
  Clothing that displays weapons, violence, gang affiliations, or other logos that cause dissension are not permitted.

  Tank tops, muscle shirts, or thin strapped tops may not be worn.  Shirts/tops must cover the shoulder (shoulder should not be exposed).
  Shorts, shirts, dresses, skirts, and slits must be fingertip length on all sides.  Style and material may make certain garments inappropriate even at an appropriate length.

 Students who are inappropriately dressed will be allowed to change clothes, to call home for someone to bring a change of clothes, or for permission to go home to change clothes and return to school for the first offense.  Classes missed will be unexcused.  Students unable to change will be assigned to an alternative classroom location. Repeat offenses will result in disciplinary action.
