Dress code is antiquated. Boys can have hair as long as they want, but can't put it in a ponytail? Girls can only 1 ear piercing and boys can't have any? Boys can't have facial hair, but facility can. Girls get in trouble if their hair that was dyed a natural color is now growing out so the administration deems it now unnatural, but nothing is said if it's a faculty member. It's been my observation that if you're in the popular group, they turn a blind eye to infractions, but if you fall into the not so popular group, you have a target on your back.

They make you continue running, lifting or doing whatever caused the problem in the first place. It does not matter if you have a medica...

Has its good and its bad. Small town scandals at an all time high. How is the athletic director still here? Especially through the constant issues in the athletic department. Would like to see him gone. He’s a bad seed.
