From Mena High School Principal Mr. David Maxwell!
I want to thank each of you for a wondrous start to my 26th year, at a new campus with new teachers and staff and students. I truly have had a smooth transition from where I came from to here.
With this being said, I also must ask for a few things from you the students:
1. Upper class men should know the handbook and its rules better than I ever would. Dress professionally, be clean and neat in your appearance, because you are setting an example for the freshman class and the middle school students that have the opportunity to come onto our campus. Some of you are going to have the opportunity to go and visit the other campuses in the future, and I want to remind you to be mindful of the example you set. Believe it or not, they look up to you.
2. I do not believe tank tops, sleeveless tops, etc., are allowed, so do not wear them. It is that simple.
3. Your class representatives to the student council and I have met on the handbook, and they are working on a proposal for you, the people they represent. I plan on meeting with them in September to see if we can modify the dress code to allow for different styles of clothing, but we have not made a decision yet, so all rules are still in place. Make sure you voice your concerns with your reps.
4. “If you wait to prepare for your future till you figure it out, you are not going to be ready”. Attend high school with a purpose. It is the greatest organization available for you to prepare for your “NEXT”.
My office is open to you if you need to visit on anything. Drop by and see me!
