Legal Question in Education Law in Oklahoma

I have a dilema. Im a senior in high school and I met this girl at the technology center I go to and weve been dating for some time now, well I understand the rules of PDA in schools and they are prohibiting me from making any physical contact with her or I will be terminated from the school. In the handbook of the technology center it reads and I quote "Mid-America Technology Center recognizes that genuine feelings of affection may exist between students: however, students should refrain from inappropriate intimate behaviors on campus or at school related events. Repeated or especially inappropriate behavior in this regard may result in disciplinary consequences." Now all I do is hold her hand when we go on break and when we walk to the buses, nothing else like that occurs during actual class time. In my opinion and in the opinion of most holding hands is not inappropriate intimate behavior, and now im feeling harassed because ive seen student couples kissing on campus and I dont know why but they have not yet got in trouble for it. I just don't know what to do, and I want to know if I can seriously punished for something like that, I do not know the laws around this situation.
