Dress Code
As of January 2008, the school enforced a strict dress including the prohibition of jeans, profane language on clothing, and spiked jewelry. Though there were rumors of protest from several parents of students, who said they could not afford to buy clothing acceptable of the new dress code, no serious protest was taken. The dress code received generally positive reviews after being enforced. There was speculation that the dress code was enforced to improve the image LHS had compared to other schools.

Famous quotes containing the words dress and/or code:
“I feel no more like a man now than I did in long skirts, unless it be that enjoying more freedom and cutting off the fetters is to be like a man. I suppose in that respect we are more mannish, for we know that in dress, as in all things else, we have been and are slaves, while man in dress and all things else is free.”
—Amelia Bloomer (1818–1894)
“Many people will say to working mothers, in effect, “I don’t think you can have it all.” The phrase for “have it all” is code for “have your cake and eat it too.” What these people really mean is that achievement in the workplace has always come at a price—usually a significant personal price; conversely, women who stayed home with their children were seen as having sacrificed a great deal of their own ambition for their families.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
