Changing schools
In the end, the family decided that the only option they had left was to enroll DeAndre in a different school. While most people thought this was the best decision, DeAndre was saddened that he was apart from his friends who he had grown up with in the small town.
DeAndre graduated from a different school district that had no problem with his hair length and got the ceremony he wanted all along. His friends and family were there in attendance for the bitter-sweet moment. Although it wasn’t at his original high school where he had all his great memories, it was still a ceremony to remember.
