[edit] School Colors
The school district's colors are maroon, white, black, and gray.
[edit] Dress Code
The school district has issued a dress code consisting of the school colors starting in the 2008-2009 school year, which has upset a large part of the student body. Protests (such as sit-ins, or walkouts) have been rumored amongst the student body, but none have been tried. Stroudsburg Area School District school board took a vote for the dress code, which resulted in a close vote of 5 to 4. The dress code mainly consists of maroon, grey, black, and white polos; polos must not have a logo on it (excluding Stroudsburg, or Mounties logos). Tops and bottoms must be of contrasting colors, for example wearing a black polo and black pants are not permitted. Polos must not go lower than the pocket area, or the polo must be tucked in. Pants must be colored black or khaki; students cannot wear skin tight jeans or skinny jeans. Shoes must be primarily black, white,grey or brown; shoelaces cannot be colored. Students must not wear hooded sweaters, or sweaters not of the school colors (maroon, grey, black, and white). Each student is given three warnings if the dress code is not followed. After the fourth offense, the student is given In-School Suspension (known as A.C.E. in the district, instead of ISS). Occasionally, the dress code is slightly lifted due to the cold weather.
Stroudsburg Area School District teachers are also required to wear a dress code, but is different than the student dress code.
[edit] Food Fights
In the 2007-2008 school year, 7th graders in the Stroudsburg Middle School participated in a food fight on the last day of school with lunch, which resulted in one teacher fracturing her leg and one student with a concussion. After this incident, more security guards have been dispatched into the Stroudsburg Intermediate Elementary School, Stroudsburg Middle School, Stroudsburg Junior High School, and Stroudsburg High School during lunch periods. Schools have threatened students who participate in a food fight with suspension or expulsion.
