Dress Code

  • *To switch to Español, Kreyòl, Português, use the language navigator at the top of the page under the search bar.

    We work each day to encourage students to be successful at their job of learning. We ask that you do the same by supporting our school dress code (school uniform). We believe school uniforms have a positive impact on student learning and behavior in and around the school. Our school dress code serves to unite students, increases school pride and eliminates class barriers.
