Cellphone Usage in School



by Katy White

According to the telephone use policy in the HHS student handbook, cell phone use in the school is prohibited in any location other than the office. However, when high school students were asked if they used their cell phones in school, the majority answered “Sometimes” and “Yes.”

Even though our school does not permit cell phone usage during school hours, kids still text during class. However, they are not necessarily texting other kids in other classes. Sometimes kids text their parents about after school plans, or their parents text them first.
