DRESS GUIDELINES

STATEMENT OF DRESS

A Trinity Catholic High student dresses in accordance with the dictates of good grooming, decency and modesty.  The emphasis is on neatness with no extremes.
 
Any student not in compliance with the dress code will not be able to attend classes until the violation is corrected. Repeat offenses will result in additional sanctions.

The school uniform is to be worn at all times during the school day.  The Dean of Students is the final interpreter of the school dress code.  “Legalistic” word games over interpretation will not be entertained.  The monetary value of attire is irrelevant with respect to dress code regulations and is not an excuse for circumventing the dress code.
