To enable students to reach high academic standards, the school has put in place a dress code designed to reduce distractions and competitions. Implementing a simple, flexible, cost-effective dress code promotes student learning and increased academic instruction time.
Interpretation of the Dress Code is at the principal and staff’s discretion and their decision is final.
Personal Hygiene
The personal grooming of students should be in accord with the standards set by the uniform dress code. Students should be clean and neat when at school.
All Students
Shirts
Students must wear purple collared polo shirts with no logos, emblems, or markings except the school name printed on the left side of the chest. Students may also wear other shirts issued by the school.
A white undershirt with sleeves not longer than the uniform top may be worn underneath.
All shirts must be tucked in at the student’s waist.
Fleece jacket or sweater cardigan style (button or zip from the bottom) must be waistlength and solid-colored in black with the school emblem. No hoods are permitted.
Students must wear grey sweatshirts and matching sweatpants on assigned gym days with no logos, emblems, or markings except the school name printed on the left side of the chest.
Pants and Shorts
Pants and shorts must be khaki with a finished hem (no side slits on hems). No cargo pockets on pants or shorts are permitted. Bottoms that are bell-bottoms, boot cut, carpenter/cargo style, hip-huggers, skinny or regular jeans are not permitted.
All bottoms must fit at the waist and crotch and be within one size of the student’s actual waist/inseam measurement. Sagging pants or shorts are not allowed.
