Any form of dress that attracts undue attention, disrupts school, is considered gang related or detracts from the learning process is not acceptable. Administration and faculty have the right to consider any current fashion or fad and determine whether it is appropriate or inappropriate for school. District guidelines state that any form of dress that attracts undue attention, is unsafe, disrupts school or detracts from the learning process is not acceptable. For additional information, please refer to the Humble ISD student handbook. Some campuses have adopted other dress code requirements in addition to district regulations, and this information will be announced by the school.
