Many schools in our area allow a beard to be grown. From high end schools like BC High School, to lower end Stoughton Public, beards are allowed. We are not asking to grow out of control beards. The main goal would be the option to have a will trimmed stubble. This should mean facial hair no longer than 2.54 cm or half an inch. This way, the school could have respectable and mature looking men. Being in a Catholic school, we should use the gifts God gave us. For men, we should have the freedom to grow the gift of facial hair!
