All belts must be properly fastened around the waist. The belt should not be excessive in length and should not be hanging from either side of the body.
All students should be dressed in symmetrical fashion. Students may not wear clothing or accessories in a manner that would distinguish a particular side of their body.
Any student dress/appearance not specifically stated which the faculty or staff deems distracting will not be permitted. It is essential that students respect the learning environment by being appropriately dressed for school. The purpose of the student dress code is not to inhibit any person’s taste in attire, but rather to better facilitate the process of education through reasonable guidelines of “dress” instilling dignity and pride. A student wearing clothing or accessories not described in these rules but which become distracting to the learning environment or identified as gang-attire will receive a written warning in advance of any disciplinary action. Consequences for dress code violations start at Step 1 on the Disciplinary Scale.
Exceptions to the Shiloh High School dress code may be made by the Principal or his/her designee for specific reasons.
Inappropriate attire will be assessed by administration on an individual basis.
No Pass/No Play Policy
The Georgia High School Association has mandated that no student may participate in extracurricular activities unless he/she meets certain minimal academic standards.
Before a student can try out, practice, or compete, he/she must have passed at least three (3) of 4 units the preceding semester or grading period. Summer school is considered an extension of spring semester and units earned in the summer are added to those acquired in the spring.
In addition, students must be on track to graduate with their class. This means a second year high school student must accumulate four (4) units, a third year student ten (10) units, and a fourth year student sixteen (16) units. It is possible to become eligible or ineligible at the end of the first semester.
All 9th grade students are automatically eligible to participate their first semester.
