Dress Code
The school district's colors are maroon, white, black, and gray. The school district has issued a dress code consisting of the school colors starting in the 2008-2009 school year, which has upset a large part of the student body. Protests (such as sit-ins, or walkouts) have been rumored amongst the student body, but none have been tried. Stroudsburg Area School District school board took a vote for the dress code, which resulted in a close vote of 5 to 4. The dress code mainly consists of maroon, grey, black, and white polos; polos must not have a logo on it (excluding Stroudsburg, or Mounties logos). Tops and bottoms must be of contrasting colors, for example wearing a black polo and black pants are not permitted. Polos must not go lower than the pocket area, or the polo must be tucked in. Pants must be colored black or khaki; students cannot wear skin tight jeans or skinny jeans. Shoes must be primarily black, white,grey or brown; shoelaces cannot be colored. Students must not wear hooded sweaters, or sweaters not of the school colors (maroon, grey, black, and white). Each student is given three warnings if the dress code is not followed. After the fourth offense, the student is given In-School Suspension (known as A.C.E. in the district, instead of ISS). Occasionally, the dress code is slightly lifted due to the cold weather. Stroudsburg Area School District teachers are also required to wear a dress code, but is different than the student dress code.

Famous quotes containing the words dress and/or code:
“... too much attention is paid to dress by those who have neither the excuse of ample means nor of social claims.... The injury done by this state of things to the morals and the manners of our lower classes is incalculable.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
“...I had grown up in a world that was dominated by immature age. Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange. Its era has passed away, and the world it made has crumbled around us. Its finest creation, a code of manners, has been ridiculed and discarded.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
