I am an alumni of this institution and I believe that the juxtaposition between light blue and dark blue was quintessential to the spirit of DVHS and to the graduation itself- it symbolized the progressive and multicultural nature of DVHS through its diversity of colors. I believe that a fair alternative to outright taking out light blue, in order to incorporate both gender equality and diversity, would be to allow students to choose the color of their gown, whether light blue, dark blue, or even silver.

I believe the students have the right to choose, and whoever made this decision should have consult the students and give them a chance to decide for themselves and not have made the change for them, I have 2 college graduated children already, and they walked so proud at graduation from High School and College showing their schools colors. Why this should change now when my last child is going to finish High School., not even notifying the families, we are the ones paying for the gown at graduation day.

Thank you to whoever made this! It's actually so ridiculous that they have decided to change it. I also think you could bring up the point that if gender equality is an issue, what makes navy blue more of a gender nuetral color than light blue? Why not make them all light blue!!

How does Dougherty expect students to be able to go off into in the real world if the school just completely shelters them from anything that could potentially offend students even in the slightest. It is understandable to not have it be split boy/girl but to completely remove it and have the whole class have sense of distinction? ... If the students dont expierance any type of human diversity how do they expect them to be able approach anything when they are out in the real world? Plus, I look better in light blue than I do in navy.

I think it's unfair and thank you to whoever made this petition. I believe gender equality is good, but this is not caring for the people who have already taken photos. Wouldn't it be more gender equal to choose what color you want. Dark navy was also originally the guys color, so it still isn't gender equal if females want to wear light blue, let them wear light blue!
