History
In 2008 a series of fights at the school lead the school to declare a lockdown. Afterwards a group of parents expressed fears for the safety of their children to the media.[6]
School uniforms
Starting in the 2005-2006 school year, Seagoville High School requires all students to wear school uniforms.[7]
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."[8][9]
Feeder patterns
As of 2006, Seagoville Middle School is the only middle school that feeds into Seagoville High School.[10]
The only PK-5 elementary school that feeds into Seagoville High School is Kleberg. Seagoville Elementary, which is PK-2, feeds into Central, which is 3-5, which ultimately feeds into Seagoville Middle School.[10]
