I would have allowed us to wear shorts all the time. I grew up in Florida and they didn’t allow shorts (except for special days) until the year after I graduated! It was crazy! My cousins in West Virginia were wearing shorts and here I was in the hottest state wearing jeans and skirts, lol!

FrugalEngineer says
I sure hope my HS has upgraded by now, but I would put a battery backup installed in the PA system. Freshman year there was a tornado warning (it did damage a block away, so it was a real threat), but the power was knocked out right before the warning. The secretaries went up and down the halls knocking on doors and calling out instructions. It also would be great to make the breezeway linking the whole school to the building with the basement NOT completely windows.

A paved student parking lot. When I was there, it was only dirt…..think how lovely the hallways were on days it rained.
