Absolutely. After investigating this school, I see no problem with enforcing a hair policy. It already has a dress code. It is a highly rated school and its student body reflects positively regarding diversity in that it enrolls 3 times the percentage of black students to the total % of blacks who make up the community and enrolls 66% of white students from an over all white population of $81%.
It appears that the school provides an excellent foundation for success and if that means a little conforming to a hair code, then so be it.

It is a good school... it's a 'magnet', well most high schools are magnets now. Kids have to apply to go to a school outside of their home district.... which sucks for traffic and buses but, it has really separated the upper tier schools and the under performing ones.
If any sort of dress code beyond those meant to ensure young ladies don't wear anything too revealing can be considered appropriate than so can hairstyle restrictions.
I was thinking the same thing. When the girls who previously wore braids and cornrows start sporting ginormous Afros, the school will wish they had left well enough alone.
That's exactly what should happen. Let the girls with thick, kinky hair and/or curls start to wear their hair open. Then they will see how their idiocy has backed them into a corner. LOL.
The policy reeks of ignorance though. Braids and cornrows help young girls, especially those of African descent, maintain healthy hair. But hey...you cant expect anything much from ignorant people.

Agreed. I saw a Black lady with corn rows today and; they looked really nice, def NOT trashy on her at all.
Afro puffs and braids have been banned by an Ohio school. Specifically “small twisted braids” have been deemed unacceptable at The Horizon Science Academy in Lorain, Ohio.
So reading this, you can't see a problem? The high school did not even accept highlights. Or two toned colors. Robots. What they needed is the school student council to vote on this. The college is paid,, this is public!
It's whats called a 'traditional' school. I graduated from the first one in Louisville in 91... we had dress codes, hair length, etc....
We are in 2016???
