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
Button down oxford shirts, loose-fitting polo-type shirts, turtlenecks
and mock turtleneck shirts without slogans 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.
Cardigan or crewneck sweaters without slogans are permitted.
Fleece pullovers or sweatshirts without slogans are permitted provided
an accepted shirt is worn beneath them.
Slacks: Dockers’ style (flat or pleated
front) slacks or other dress pants, cargo pants or clean and neat
jeans worn at the waist are permitted.
Skirts: Skirts no shorter than 3” above
the knee are permitted.
Shorts: Non-athletic, modest walking shorts are
permitted from May 1st until October 1st.
Footwear: Low-heeled shoes (loafers, dress shoes,
deck shoe, athletic shoes or hiking-style boots) or sandals with
a strap around the heel are permitted. Socks, hose or tights must
be worn with all shoes except sandals.
Jewelry: Piercing jewelry may only be worn in
the ears. Neck chains, pendants, rings and wrist bracelets may be
worn as long as they do not distract from the learning environment.
Spiked jewelry, heavy chains or visible tattoos are not permitted.
Other
Hair should be clean and neatly trimmed. Any changes in hair color
must be a natural color.
Facial hair is not permitted.
Hats, caps, sweatbands, bandanas, scarves and sunglasses are not
permitted in the school building or at indoor school functions.
Exceptions may be made in the dress code on special occasions declared
by the faculty. (ie) dress up days, spirit days and the like. No clothing, including jackets and backpacks, may be worn to or
in school which has advertising or slogans related to alcohol, tobacco
products, bars, music groups, TV programs, movies, or radio stations.
The school administration reserves the right to determine the
appropriateness of dress and the right to interpret the dress code.
