Security
Private security officers patrol the halls and give out detentions to students who do not have lanyards on, and classes are dismissed on a staggered basis during lunches to prevent the overcrowding of the halls. Starting in January 2007, students and teachers were required to wear lanyards with IDs to provide better security throughout the campus. Lanyards are different colors based on which building the student mostly uses. The Freshman Campus students are required to wear a white lanyard, the High School students wear a red lanyard, and all teachers wear black lanyards. A strict security policy was instated along with the lanyards requiring students who forget their lanyard to attend detention on their second offense, Saturday school on their third offense, and suspension for subsequent offenses. Such a demanding policy has been a source of controversy over the past few years and is often seen as unnecessary by students and faculty alike.
