It's the end of the school year, and students would normally be getting ready to celebrate, but teenagers at one San Diego high school are instead protesting outside of their school.

Female students at Cathedral Catholic High School in Carmel Valley, California, recently received word that the school's dress code would be changing this fall, and they're not amused by the new clothing restrictions on their uniforms.

Starting with the 2019-2020 school year, female students will no longer be allowed to wear skirts, according to an email from school officials obtained by local NBC affiliate KNSD. Instead, girls will be required to wear pants, capri pants or Bermuda shorts.

In an email to the community, Cathedral Catholic High School principal Kevin Calkin explained the reasoning behind the new clothing restrictions: "The main challenge with dress code has been the length of girls’ skirts. The school has made many attempts to rectify this challenge. The administration has worked with the Parent Association, has issued thousands of hours of detention, has made school-wide announcements (e.g., CCTV, orientations), and has worked with students one-on-one. None of this has had the desired effect of maintaining an overall modest skirt length in compliance with the dress code." Read more via Today
