2010-2011 Dress Code

Excerpt from the 2010-11 Student Handbook.

Romans 12:1-2
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

Students must always be neatly and modestly dressed at school and all school events, both on and off campus.  Parents are strongly urged to supervise their child’s dress on a daily basis.  Final determination rests in the hands of the administration.
