Uniform Information
The BCHS dress code is based on our belief that students should present an image that reflects a sense of pride in themselves, their families, and their school. Our dress code is a reminder that clothing can be simple and uniform and the real worth of the individual is not in the clothing, but in what he or she accomplishes with the gifts God has given.

General Dress Code
- The uniform is in effect for all school days and any field trip outside the school that occurs on school days. Expectations for Senior Dress Up Days and/or School Dress Up Days can be found in the handbook.
Friday Spirit Days: To promote school spirit or celebrate events during the school year, Fridays are designated as spirit days on which students may wear any Bishop Chatard shirt, jacket, or sweatshirt with uniform pants or shorts. Hoodies are not permitted. - Uniforms must fit appropriately and should be in good repair and kept clean. Pants may not sag. Uniform clothing cannot be written on or torn.
- A school uniform sweatshirt is the only sweatshirt that may be worn during the school day. Students are not allowed to wear hooded sweatshirts.
- Jewelry must be modest and not a distraction. Eyebrow, nose, lip, cheek, chin, or tongue piercings are unacceptable and not considered modest.
- Hair may be kept long if it is neat and well-groomed. Male students are to be clean-shaven. If male students come to school with facial hair they will be instructed to shave immediately. For sanitary purposes they will be given an unused disposable razor.
- Students’ general appearance and students’ general hygiene should be appropriate for a Catholic high school. This includes, but is not limited to: makeup, hair color and style, and hair cleanliness and presentation. Students are expected to wear and manage their clothing and appearance in such a manner that does not disrupt the educational setting, interfere with health or safety, or promote vulgarity or discriminatory messages. If such appearances are considered disruptive to the educational environment or mission, the administration reserves the right to address the situation and enforce consequences as necessary.
