PHS students, staff ready for ID badges

They were a little resistant at first, but once they understood the reasoning behind it, members of the Prescott High School Student Council decided that displaying PHS identification badges at all times was "no big deal."

The reason, school administrators said, is safety. With ID badges in plain sight, school officials will know who does and - more importantly - does not belong on the PHS campus.

Starting Sept. 8, all PHS students, teachers and staff members must wear their ID badges so the badges are visible all time. This means wearing the ID badge on a lanyard or other form of neckwear, or clip - as long as it is above the waist on the outside of clothing.

PHS Student Council Vice President Tess Peterson realizes that displaying the ID badge is a "small thing."

Elected to represent their fellow classmates, the class presidents said that at first they wondered why the administration was taking such an action, and if it was necessary at PHS.

"A good majority of students thought this was going a little overboard and was just another rule we had to live with," Sophomore Class President Levi Rosdahl.

The new ID badge requirement is the result of Prescott High's North Central Accreditation process. Read More...
