Free-lance adjustments to the school uniform pieces will not be acceptable. The school's colors are: maroon and gray, with gold or yellow.

Students are discouraged from wearing jewelry unless it is a verifiable religious or strong cultural requirement. The school may need to be satisfied on the latter account. Simplicity and uniformity are important interests of the school. It is our hope that attire does not become a distraction for any of our students. We prefer to promote other more advantageous goals more appropriate for the student's age and station in life. We consider the love and dedication to Christ and academic learning are more noble pursuits.

The development and strengthening of character are objectives of our discipline code. We urge students to regard schoolmates as "school family". Cleanliness, modesty, neatness, good taste, uniformity, and comfort are among our interest in fostering a school dress code. Revealing and provocative attire will not be acceptable. Repeated violations of the dress code will result in contact with parents, and may result in student dismissal. Every effort will be engaged to work with parents and students in exceptional situations that are deemed to not be disguised acts of defiance and lack of cooperation.

It is hoped that conformity to the uniform code will result in development of student personal and school pride, dignity, self-esteem, and adjustment into the school culture.

Recognizing the need for self-expression, even through the medium of dress, the school usually schedules two days per month when students may report to school out-of-uniform. The second and fourth Mondays are ordinarily casual; and dressy-dress days. Unless announced otherwise, clean sneakers and jeans may be considered appropriate attire for casual dress days, but not for dressy-dress days.

Girls may only wear pants for athletic events and physical education classes. The no jewelry requirement is for boys and girls.

It goes without saying, parents are expected to see to it that students always report to school demonstrating proper rest, good and healthy hygiene,  neatness, and cooperation to the dress code. Enrollment of a student in the school should only take place after parents have satisfied themselves that they will accept and abide by all school requirements.
