The normal dress code requires that a student wear a suit jacket, sports coat, or official school sweater along with a dress shirt (i.e., one designed to be worn with a tie), dress slacks and dress shoes with dress socks. Clothes should be neat, clean and in good repair—i.e., no holes, tears, etc. Extremes in both dress and hairstyle are to be avoided.
