Philosophy
Grooming
of students attending school is generally left up to the good sense and
sound judgment of students, parents, and guardians. We understand how a
student's appearance affects daily behavior, purpose for being at
school, and productivity in the classroom We are making a concerted
effort to establish good grooming and personal character at Fresno high
so that our students will be adequately prepared to enter mainstream of
life.
We ask your support in maintaining the
kind of atmosphere that is necessary for and conductive to a good
education.
