This is our high school policy:
All students are expected to be in uniform at all times from 8:50 am until 3:01 pm while in the school building and library. The uniform is to be worn on field trips unless specified otherwise. School Administration reserves the right to send students home whose dress is not in keeping with these guidelines and may result in disciplinary action.
The SMH uniform is supplied by R.J. McCarthys and is purchased by visiting the outlet, calling 1-800-668-8261 or online at
www.rjmccarthy.com.
Only those uniform items sold by McCarthys are permissible.
