Over the years, Everett has made drastic changes in their policies within the building because of lack of discipline within the student body.

Changes are being made to tardy policies through hall sweeps, the lunchroom policy becoming stricter so that people are not allowed to leave and now the possibility of not having pep rallies next year is being proposed due to the lack of respect between groups of people.

“When the pep assembly is happening, some students don’t know how to act at times,” said Assistant Principal Tracey Keyton. “That shows that our school has some disrespectful students and we don’t want to be seen in that light”.

Due to the negative behavior, administration is talking about cancelling all certain aspects of future pep rallies.

“Next year we will have assemblies as always, but if students can’t come together and work on acting better at the assemblies, there won’t be any extras,” said Keyton. “We will cancel all dancers and performances.”

Junior Romouri Williams agrees that pep assemblies need changes. He believes that many people with diverse ideas are needed if the events are going to get better than they are now.

“Pep assemblies are whack,” said Williams. “And, it should not just be the input of the senior class. It should be everyone’s ideas in the school because more ideas mean more to put on the table.”

As for the stricter lunchroom policy, security officer John Gibbs explains that when open campus was available, some students would steal from nearby stores, leave for the whole day and generally trash the neighborhood.

“Students would go to stores and steal, or leave for the whole day,” said Gibbs. “For years, it had been going on.”

Through this policy, administration hopes to keep the students out of the business districts and away from nearby stores as well as residential areas where many of the problems arise.
