Uniform
Students are to wear the Holy Cross uniform at all times during the school day, including the lunch hour and during spare periods. Uniforms may be purchased at the school in early April and July fromThe Tuck Shop.
The uniform provides many advantages to our students, including safety, pride, and equal status. All of our students are dressed identically so that our staff can easily identify any person who does not belong in our building. Our students who wear their uniform proudly definitely experience feelings of belonging to a larger group. Our uniform allows our students to be on equal footing, as family income is not transparent. Our students are more easily able to concentrate on their classroom activities as various attire is not an obstacle for learning.
Students must present themselves in good repair at all times during the school day. Ball caps, wearing hoods on heads, and offensive clothing are not permitted in the school at any time; if found, they will be seized and reissued at the end of the semester. Appropriate attire for shop, gym, drama, and art will be determined by the teacher and worn for that period only.
