School logo shirts added to uniform dress code in county
Published Thursday, July 29, 2010
School uniforms in Butler County Public Schools will now offer more variety with an eye for promoting school spirit.
The BOE approved an addition to the Uniform Dress Code at their special called meeting on Thursday. The addition will allow students to wear school-sponsored polo shirts and sweatshirts purchased from the school.
The new shirts will include a polo-style shirt, originally designed with two or three buttons (no alterations allowed) featuring a collar and no pockets, and a sweatshirt, also pullover style, with no hood.
"This will give our students the option to wear a sweatshirt or shirt comprised of their school colors, to help promote a sense of pride and belonging to our students," said superintendent Darren Douthitt.
Black polo shirts and sweatshirts with a gold embroidered school logo (one logo for all schools) will be available for the Greenville schools (W.O. Parmer Elementary, Greenville Elementary, Greenville Middle School and Greenville High School).
At Georgiana School, students may wear navy polos and sweatshirts with a white embroidered school logo, and McKenzie School students, navy polos and sweatshirts with a white embroidered school logo.
Costs for the new additions were not announced at the meeting, but prices for the shirts will be consistent countywide.

Angie, it would be nice to see these actual uniform logos as they become available.

I am sure we will feature the logos once they do become available to let all our readers see what they look like; also detail costs. Just not quite there yet.

Well it's a start but not quite what some of us were asking for. First off the school color theme is incorrect. McKenzie should have been navy blue with gold logo and Georgiana is Royal blue with white logo. So it appears that Greenville is the only one that is correct. I would like to see fridays set aside for spirit day that would allow the teams to wear their jerseys, cheerleaders allowed to wear the top part of their uniforms, and any student who wanted to wear a shirt sporting the teams colors. Also allowing letterman jackets to be worn. If anyone else supports this let your comments be heard. School spirit seems to be a thing of the past now and we need it to show support of our schools and to bring pride back to our cities.

SHS84 I agree with the latter part of your comment on the schools of this county lacking school spirit. I've been out of high school about 4 years now and I found it very discouraging that the board decided to discontinue the wearing of band t-shirts, football jerseys, and the top of cheerleader uniforms by the students who were a part of these organizations. I will never forget the sense of pride my classmates and I felt when wearing our t-shirts, jerseys, or uniform tops. Being able to wear these things brought a sense of excitement and pride to the school on game days. It is also sad that my parents spent almost $300 on a letterman that I COULD NOT even wear inside of Greenville High School. I sincerely hope the board re-visits their decisions and allow these students the chance to get the excitement back in the schools.
