Bag Rules at South Atlanta High School

To provide a safer environment for the students and staff at South Atlanta High School, the following bags will be allowed on school premises:

Transparent Backpack Transparent Tote Mesh Backpack Mesh Tote Small Clutch Purses (Not to exceed 4.5" x 6.5")

Students can bring non-transparent bags for extracurricular activities, but they must be stored in lockers after entering the school. Noncompliant bags will be confiscated and can be retrieved by parents or by contacting an administrator.


To ensure the safety of the students and staff remains intact, this bag protocol will be strictly enforced. The purpose of this rule is to identify potential threats, such as weapons or contraband, and to deter prohibited items. A safe learning environment will create a positive school culture, and when students feel safe, they are less likely to engage in risky behaviors. The safety of our staff and students remains our top priority, and this bag policy is a testament to our unwavering commitment to this goal.
