Dress Code

Attention to personal appearance is an important part of the maturation process for young Catholic men and women. The school uniform expresses not only traditional values but also our unity as a community of believers and learners. A person's appearance is a reflection of self-image and is an indication of respect for oneself and others. The dress code promotes pride in personal appearance, pride in representing the student's school community, and pride in being part of the Catholic school system. The dress code and uniform policy affirms the values of modesty and decency in keeping with the teachings of the Church and each local school community. Students are expected to be clean, well-groomed, and dressed appropriately at all times. Regulation school uniforms must be purchased through Flynn & O'Hara. Regulation shoes should be purchased from suppliers determined by the local school administration.
