Holy Cross High School Dress Code
Holy Cross Dress Code Holy Cross High School s dress code is designed to reinforce neatness, professionalism, responsibility and is a reflection of the importance of academic endeavours and school tradition. It is our belief that our dress code will allow for a successful educational environment and will prepare students for future life experiences. Students and parents have made a decision to attend Holy Cross and as a result we expect all students to demonstrate professional pride and good taste in their appearance. Students who are improperly attired will be sent home to change, or their parent/guardian will be called to bring them a change of clothes. Students who frequently need to be reminded about dress code violations will be subject to disciplinary measures. The administration reserves the right to make final decisions about the appropriateness of any student s appearance. Dress code will be reviewed periodically and revised as needed.
