Dress Code
Why we require one.

Anthem Prep has a mandatory dress code for all students. Students are expected to be neat, clean, and dressed in uniform at all times unless permitted by the administration to be out of uniform. There are many positive reasons for a dress code, including:

• A dress code encourages students to express their individuality through personality and academic achievements, not outward appearances.

• A dress code puts the focus on academics, not fashion, because students project a neat, serious, businesslike image.

• Schools with dress codes have fewer discipline problems because students are less distracted.

• Dress codes can be less expensive.

• Dress codes eliminate the visible differences between needy and wealthy children.

• Dress codes eliminate the pressure to wear brand-name clothing, immodest styles, etc.

• Dress codes create a sense of school pride and belonging.

General Rules

• White dress shirts must be tucked in for boys, girls shirts can remain untucked.

• Clothes must be the appropriate size, with the waist of the garment worn at the student’s waist.

• Clothing that is too tight or too loose is not appropriate for school.

• Only school-approved jackets, hoodies, and sweaters are allowed in the classroom.

• Hoods are not allowed to be worn in the classrooms or hallways.

• School administrators will determine if clothing is appropriate for school and complies with the uniform guidelines.

• Students violating the dress code will receive a warning the first time. Students who regularly violate the dress code will be referred to the administration.
