Uniform Guidelines

St. Francis continues to nurture and educate its students in faith, academics, and service to others. We also encourage students to appreciate and respect their uniform. Fostering improved self-image and modesty, school unity, and a “dress-for-success” attitude, the uniform helps to support our mission.

Boys and girls adhere to a dress code designed to distinguish themselves by their accomplishments rather than by their appearance. The uniform policy also strives to eliminate label competition, while offering a simplified economic selection of uniform items.

The vendors listed are approved for adding the school logo to uniform items. You may also purchase your items elsewhere and have them logoed locally at Blue and Gold Graphics. By having the local approved vendor, you will be able to have items logoed at your convenience, as you need them.
