As a private school, part of our mission is to ensure that our students are well groomed and understand the importance of maintaining good personal hygiene. We recognize that boys often enjoy following popular haircut “fads,” but enforcing some styles over others would be challenging and inconsistent. For the sake of uniformity and aesthetics, we kindly ask that you ensure your child follows the grooming policies as outlined below.
