School Uniforms
Starting in the 2005-2006 school year, Seagoville High School requires all students to wear school uniforms.
The Texas Education Agency specified that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniform; parents must specify "bona fide" reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections.
In September 2008 the high school made national news after the school required Tabitha Ruiz, a student, to remove a rosary given to her by her mother on the grounds that it was a "gang symbol." In 2015 Seagoville High's administration in-school suspended a student who wore an American flag T-shirt to school.
