For shirts/tank tops: "...the district will not permit clothing deemed distracting, revealing, overly suggestive or otherwise disruptive or interfering. This includes attire revealing bare midriffs, halter/tank tops, spaghetti straps and see-through shirts, tops or blouses. In addition, we will not measure straps this year, however undergarments should not be visible. Leggings/Yoga pants: May only be worn if the top is at least mid-thigh length. Shorts/Skirts: Finger-tip/mid-thigh is described in the district policy, however, the policy allows schools to be more specific. The LHS administration's decision is that shorts and skirts should be no more than 4" above the knee (male and female shorts). For further information regarding dress code, please refer to the Student Code of Conduct that is located on our website. 8-25-14 Athletic Events Monday, September 8 Booster Club Meeting new gym conference room, 7 p.m. Varsity Girls Tennis @ Aiken, 5 p.m. Tuesday, September 9 JV & Varsity Volleyball @ Lugoff-Elgin, 5:30 and 7 p.m. Wednesday, September 10 JV & Varsity Volleyball hosts Cardinal Newman, 5:30 and 7 p.m. Swimming @ North Augusta, 6 p.m. Thursday, September 11 JV Girls Tennis hosts Hammond at the Lexington Country Club, TBD B-Team Football @ Sumter, 6 p.m. JV Football @ Wando, 6 p.m. Swimming hosts River Bluff (At TopSpin) Senior Recognition, 6 p.m. Varsity Girls Tennis @ Spring Valley, 5 p.m. Friday, September 12 Varsity Football hosts Wando (Homecoming), 7:30 p.m. Saturday, September 13 Varsity Volleyball in the White Knoll Tournament, All Day Swimming in the Dam Swim for Drew, 9 a.m. Girls Golf in the Central Florida TOC @ Redtail Golf Club Cross Country in the Coaches Classic @ Sandhills
