Proper Dress for Young Women

If a substitute for socks is desired, plain opaque tights, white or charcoal gray, may be worn. The uniform skirt and blouse must be fitted, well kept, ironed or pressed, and properly identified. The skirt must be worn to the mid-knee in a manner which is appropriate for the design of the clothing and reflective of the modesty expected of Christian women. The blouse must be properly tucked into the skirt.

Shoes must be brown, black or burgundy in color, sensible and without open backs (no clogs). Hair must be neat, well-groomed and reflect due regard for health and safety regulations. Ladies may wear only two earrings in each ear. Earrings should be worn in the ear lobe only.

During August, September, May and June, a uniform knit shirt with the school emblem may be worn in place of the blouse. A pair of uniform shorts may be substituted for the kilt when wearing the knit shirt.

White crew socks which cover the ankle and white, low cut sneakers are to be worn with the shorts.

Only solid white T-shirts are appropriate under uniform and dress shirts. Shoes must be black, brown or burgundy in color and must be polished to a shine. Any kind of casual footwear such as mountain climbers, sneakers, work shoes, boots and the like is improper and will not be acceptable.

Hair must be neat, well-groomed, trimmed around the ears and off the collar. All students are to be clean shaven. Beards and mustaches are not acceptable. Sideburns may not extend beyond the middle of the ear. Earrings are not acceptable at school functions.

During August, September, May and June, a uniform knit shirt with the school emblem may be worn in place of the dress shirt. A pair of uniform shorts may be substituted for the dress slacks when wearing the knit shirt. Ties are not to be worn with the knit shirt.
