Here you go... Cypress Bay High School

It's a really good school. Other than a few really high end private schools, you really won't find much better.
The dress code is somewhere on the website above. From personal observation, it's not really enforced all that strictly. Although that is true of most area high schools, not just Cypress Bay.
I don't think there are lockers in most Broward schools anymore. Too many issues to deal with. Usually the kids get a "home" set of books so that they don't have to carry them around.

As for pictures - Google is your friend. There are like 4000 students there. You can imagine how many photos that equals on a daily basis.

Very good school. My both kids are juniors there.

It is one of the best high schools in Florida.

It's an amazing school. Half of the students are not from Weston - their parents find ways to cheat the system, which is sad because part of Weston cannot go there including the beautiful neighborhood of Tequesta. So, if you're planning to move to Weston, make sure you get a house within the school district or your kids will be sent to Western HS, which is not bad, but not the even close to Cypress. My daughter just graduated this year and all her friends are now in college.

>> The dress code: The call it "express your pesonality"

>> do all students have their own locker? No

>> Pictures: As mentioned above, Google is your best source:

Most schools now send the books home with the students to keep there for homework and studying - and then have a set of books that stays in the classrooms. That way the students don't have to carry them around.

Also, for the most part all the books are available through an online portal that the students can access. So if for some reason they don't have a book they need, they can just see it online.

Schools (at least down here) have phased out lockers due to security concerns. In addition, having lockers in hallways increases congestion, and increases the time it would take to travel from class to class. Given the size of high schools down here, the kids need every second to get from one class to another.

No lockers. Books are in their backpack all times. Books are not that bulky though. As previously mentioned kids nowadays rely more and more on online materials.
