Dress Code
The students shall be appropriately groomed and dressed and present themselves in a clean and neat manner while on school property and at school functions. Teachers and all other school employees should exemplify and reinforce acceptable student dress and help students develop an understanding of appropriate appearance in the school setting. Also, visiting students are to be appropriately attired while on school property and at school functions.
​
It is important that students take pride in their personal appearance and comply with the school regulations governing the uniform. It is equally important that parents support the school uniform policy by insisting that their children be in proper uniform attire on every day of attendance.
Grooming and appearance shall be safe and appropriate and may not disrupt or interfere with the educational process. Distracting hairstyles are not acceptable. This includes excessively long hair or fad cuts. Hair must be neat and clean; styled such that vision is not impeded and be of natural hair color. Young men are to have hair no longer than the top of their shirt collar and sideburns must be level with the ear lobe. Young men are to be clean-shaven (including "out-of-uniform" days) and are not allowed to wear earrings. Visible tattoos and/or body piercing (other than earrings for girls) are not allowed for either boys or girls. Tongue posts are considered visible body piercing.
