Junior & Senior High Dress Code |
Christian students realize their bodies are the temples of God’s Holy Spirit. They strive to keep themselves neat, clean, well-groomed and modestly dressed. The manner of dress affects the attitude of students about themselves, their school and the work which they perform. The way in which students dress also directly affects the image of the school among the general public.
With this in mind, the dress code will be as follows.
|
Shirts/Tops
1. Button down oxford shirts, loose-fitting polo-type shirts, pullover dress shirts with acceptable 3”x 3” logos are permitted. Shirts may be long or short sleeved but must always cover the entire shoulder. Shirts with buttons may have the top button only unbuttoned.
2. Cardigan or crewneck sweaters with acceptable 3”x3” logos are permitted.
3. Fleece pullovers or pullover sweatshirts with acceptable 3”x3” logos are permitted provided an accepted shirt is worn beneath them. (Zip-up jacket and zip-up sweat shirts are not allowed.)
4. All tops should meet the minimum requirement of collar bone height. Tops that fall lower than this must have another shirt that meets the required height worn underneath it.
