2024-2025 School Uniform Policy
Please see the Parent/Student Handbook for complete HDA dress code & uniform policies.
GENERAL DRESS CODE POLICY:
Students must wear shoes at all times on campus or at school sponsored activities. Because of the nature of our campus, athletic shoes are advised for everyday school dress. Athletic shoes are required for all PE classes and athletic events. Flip-flops, sandals, string shoes, platform shoes, wheeled shoes, combat boots, or any shoes deemed inappropriate are prohibited.
Skin‐tight clothing is not allowed for any event. This includes tank tops, bike pants, tights, yoga pants, leotards, and leggings. Midriffs should not be exposed at any time on campus or at a school sponsored event.
Students are not to wear decorations, symbols, mottoes, or designs imprinted (permanently or temporarily) attached to the body. Tattoos (whether seen or covered) are not allowed.
Articles of clothing may not advertise commodities such as alcoholic beverages, drugs, tobacco, or display symbols or wording that have sexual connotation, gang reference, profane language, or any idea subject to an interpretation inconsistent with Biblical principles.
Hair may not be dyed unnatural colors. Hair should be kept combed neatly and well groomed for the style. Boys may not wear ponytails or other “faddish” hairstyles (i.e. Mohawks, spikes, tails, etc.).
Jewelry should be modest and appropriate for school; a simple necklace or bracelet is allowed. Piercing, other than girls’ ears, is not allowed. Boys are not allowed to have piercings of any kind.
Adequate undergarments must be worn.
Makeup, if worn, will be light and follow the traditional applications. High fashion fad applications will not be permitted.
