Uniforms

Students are expected to wear our uniform with pride. Personal appearance is consistent with standards of good taste and appropriate for school and school events. Any dress or wearing of insignia conveying the image of gang membership, supporting the beliefs of hate groups, making sexual innuendos, or promoting drugs, alcohol, or tobacco is inappropriate for school and is not allowed and is subject to disciplinary action on the part of the school administration. 
Just Me Apparel supplies our school uniform and Sew Many Logos supplies the PE uniform. When we change our clocks, we change our uniforms to seasonal uniforms, appropriate to summer and winter. Students wear gym uniforms to school on PE days. Occasionally, for special celebrations, students may be asked to change into their PE uniform following Mass. Students in grades or clubs that have a special shirt or sweatshirt, those are to be worn on the sameday as decided with the moderator and/or principal. Having students choose random days for these t-shirts defeats the purpose of belonging to the group and promoting the organization.
