UNIFORM POLICY Philosophy The Habersham School believes that uniforms play an important role in maintaining a culture conducive to cultivating virtuous scholars. In many respects the uniform is the face of Habersham. Uniforms encourage a sense of school identity and cohesion and also help to raise the standards of the school s academic and cultural pursuits. In addition to cohesion and identity, uniforms also serve to minimize distractions in the classroom thus contributing to a stronger learning environment. Non-conformity to the uniform code is a distraction we seek to avoid. This principle applies equally to distractive hair styles, hair color, makeup, and also to distractive behavior. Minimizing distractions allow us to maximize learning. Vendor Information Most uniform pieces must come from Lands End Uniforms.
