Dress Code

One’s appearance speaks to his principles and identity. As the body reflects the soul, so one’s dress reflects his attitude. To foster an environment focused on learning, students at STCA dress modestly, in good taste and are neat, clean, and well-groomed at school and school-related functions. Girls plaid items should be purchased from Land’s End: Classic Navy Plaid color. Any items other than plaid may be purchased second-hand or from any vendor. Examples of vendors include: Amazon, Old Navy, Land’s End, JC Penney, Target, Walmart, etc.
