Back-to-School Fashion Show in Peach County Brings New Ideas for Spicing Up Uniforms

Tonight, parents and students in Peach County got a sneak peek at back-to-school fashion for fall, and it’s all about uniforms.

A new dress code for the county requires students to wear either black, khaki, or navy blue bottoms with solid colored Polo’s.

Drama teacher, and member of Fort Valley Arts Alliance, Monica Nix, put together a fashion show that provided students with various ways to spice up their uniforms. Nix wants students to see that despite the new dress code, there’s still room for creativity and individual style.

“Well the idea that I was told, why they were going to a uniform was to try and make students equal, equitable. Everybody is the same, to give a little more continuity to the decorum of the classroom. To give them a chance to not worry so much about what they are wearing as opposed to studies.”

She says specific restrictions vary by each school. Parents and students should check with principals for a full list of do’s and don’ts.
