Dress Codes
As of 2007, over twenty high schools require their students to wear school uniforms or "standardized dress." Of them, one Lamar High School, had a White plurality. Nine Houston ISD high schools did not require students to wear uniforms or standardized dress. Four of them had White students as the largest group of students.
Around the early 1990s the district began a trend of more localized management, so local schools set their own dress code policies. At the start of the 1994-1995 school year 37 HISD elementary and middle schools had uniforms or standardized dress; this was a large increase from the previous school year.

Famous quotes containing the words dress and/or codes:
“Any affectation whatsoever in dress implies, in my mind, a flaw in the understanding.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
