The purpose of our dress code is to uphold uniform standards so that students are not judged or measured by brand names. We trust our families to make thoughtful decisions when selecting uniform providers and to remain mindful of these expectations. We believe these updates will allow students to dress professionally within a faith-filled learning environment. Our goal is to balance practicality with our school’s values, ensuring a respectful and cohesive atmosphere for everyone. We ask for your continued cooperation.
