DRESS CODE

Students attending Sacred Heart High School understand upon registration that a uniform is required to be worn on each day during the academic year. Students entering the building are expected to be properly dressed. Detentions will be issued to students who are in violation of the uniform dress code and students may lose the privilege to participate in Casual Dress days. Continued violation of the uniform dress code will require a parent conference with the Assistant Principal who may place a student on disciplinary probation. A uniform dress code violation may be seen as a blatant disregard for the mission and purpose of Sacred Heart High School. All students are expected to abide by the uniform dress code and wear the uniform with pride and respect at all times.

CASUAL DRESS DAYS

During the academic year on appointed days, students will be allowed to wear casual clothing to school instead of the uniform. However, students should use proper judgment with regard to the clothing selected for these days. All policies regarding jewelry, head covers, and clothing styles are still in effect. Shorts are never permitted to be worn during the school day.
Any student dressed inappropriately will be sent home.

At no time is any kind of “Body Art” to be visible. This includes, but is not limited to, body painting, tattoos (whether temporary or permanent), piercing, scarring, burning, and/or self-mutilation of any kind.

Violations will result in detention or reprimand and will, if repeated or particularly egregious, result in expulsion.
