Cap Decorating Guidelines
To students: We urge students to be respectful of this opportunity. These guidelines have been created with input from students, teachers, and administrators. This is not only a representation of our school, but of our families and community.
• Caps must be school appropriate as defined in the Keene High School Student Handbook. Specifically prohibiting the following: “To refrain from wearing clothing that displays offensive or disruptive symbols or statements (i.e., topics of s*x, drugs, alcohol, etc.)
• Caps should display encouraging quotes, organizations that students belong to, or the college, university, workplace, or other destination (military, trade school, etc.) in which a student is going, for example. The decoration of caps is not limited to these things, but any decoration must be appropriate as defined above and/or by school administration and class advisors.
• The Keene High School administration, staff, and senior class advisors reserve the right to deem any cap inappropriate and have the authority to take disciplinary or other action that they deem necessary.
• The Keene High School administration and senior class advisors should screen all senior caps to ensure that violations aren’t present.
• Decoration on caps should be two dimensional to not create distraction and should be easily removed in the event that the display on the cap is inappropriate.
• The Keene High School administration and senior class advisors have the authority to establish any other regulations on the decoration of caps as they deem necessary. To wit:
o Only the top of the cap may be decorated. No hanging off the sides.
o Caps must be decorated on the student’s own time, with their own materials.
o Decorations will be for Graduation only (not Baccalaureate).
o Violations of any of the above may result in the student not being able to march.
By decorating my cap, I understand all of the rules and regulations.
