High School Dress Code

Boys and Girls High School Dress Code

AEF Schools requires a dress code for students.

At AEF Schools, we feel strongly that there is a direct association between how people look and how they feel about themselves. Neat and attractive usually means proud and confident. In addition, the school has had a long and honored custom of wearing uniforms. Our standard of dress prescribes a specific dress code during the school day. Students will arrive at and leave from school in the full school uniform, unless special permission is given to the contrary.

While the school encourages and accepts the principle that all students are individuals, by our traditional nature, we expect our students to demonstrate that individuality in their scholarship, character and performance, rather than through extreme dress or grooming; At AEF Schools, we have a uniform and maintain extremely high standards of personal behavior. These high standards are a significant part of our community personality, and we take great pride in that.

Accordingly, extreme hair styles, such as long and/or messy, dyed an unnatural color, or too short or shaved, are inappropriate and unacceptable. Likewise, jewelry must be conservative by traditionally accepted standards, such as no body rings, conservative earrings for girls, and studs for boys. Loose or baggy clothing and elaborately styled shoes, while presently fashionable, are similarly inconsistent with the spirit of our dress standards and are, therefore, unacceptable.

AEF High School

We believe that a dress code:

Fosters school spirit and community identity
Helps the student develop pride in his or her appearance
Prepares the student for the personal grooming requirements and accepted manner of dress of society in general
Mitigates against the destructive and costly competition among students engendered by fads in dress and style
Reduces clothing expenses for parents
Helps to focus the student’s attention on schoolwork by using clothing to differentiate between school time and other leisure pursuits
All clothing should be clearly marked with student’s name on the inside tag.
Wearing an AEF sweater etc. does not exempt a student from wearing an AEF collared shirt
Pants/shorts must be worn above the waist
Solid colored T-shirts may be worn underneath the polo shirts
Solid colored long sleeves may be worn underneath the polo shirts
