Dress Code
Dress code and uniforms in a school setting play a crucial role in promoting a sense of equality and discipline among students. They help minimize, allowing students to focus on their education rather than on fashion choices. Additionally, uniforms foster a sense of and school spirit, creating unified community. By establishing clear expectations for attire, schools can also encourage a professional atmosphere conducive to learning.
Uniform Policy
The Edward Horace Uniform Policy is driven by our desire to create and promote an environment where dress is not a distraction to the educational process. As leaders, students are expected to present themselves seriously and professionally, which includes their daily school attire.
Students in grades 6 – 12 must arrive dressed in the following uniform options each school day, unless otherwise noted. Students attending field trips or school-sponsored off-campus activities shall wear school uniforms, unless otherwise advised.
