For many students, the hoodie is a wardrobe essential to help keep everyone warm and cozy during the chilly months of winter. However, for Stroudsburg High School, it’s a part of dress code rules and regulations focused on promoting safety and identification. Stroudsburg adopted a policy banning hoodies on school grounds. While some parents view the ban as necessary to maintain order, students question its fairness and the impact on their self-expression.
