CONWAY — The Kennett High Student Council is looking to bring a more modern dress code to Eagles Way in 2022. Student Body President Elizabeth Bouchard said council members are seeking “something a little brighter and better” than the existing code, which has been in place since 2016 and which many Eagles believe is outdated.
Bouchard, 18, of Conway, said she and other council members met Dec. 10 with Principal Kevin Carpenter and Vice Principal Katy Meserve to discuss the issue. She reported on that meeting to the Conway School Board, which met later that same day.
