Upcoming in the 2014  year will come a new skirt rule: the controversial two-pleated skirt requirement.

No matter what style of skirt that would have been chosen, somebody would not be happy with it,” says upper school dean, Mrs. Dillon.

For those girls who feel uncomfortable with this mandatory style, Dillon says, “There is always an option of pants and shorts.

Only the class of 2015 will be exempted from the skirt policy.

The Viking Corner, the School Closet in Bexley, and several other retail stores sell this two-pleated style. Students can even shop around and have their skirts made for less than a store’s ticket price.
