In the spirit of promoting excellence in all aspects of life, we wish to maintain and enhance a norm of personal appearance which reflects appropriate care, neatness and a sense of self-worth. It is our goal to set a standard of dress and grooming that inspires and encourages class unity, school identity, and pride. With the support of the entire St. Dominic Savio community, these guidelines will help engender a positive climate for mature behavior and strong academic performance. Any student unable to abide by the dress code due to injury, illness or otherwise needs the permission of the principal.
