Uniform Policy
Pride in one’s appearance is considered, by Teurlings Catholic High School, to be an essential mark of a mature person. It is expected, therefore, that each student will reflect that pride by consistently manifesting a respectable and appropriate appearance in matters of personal hygiene and dress. In order to fulfill the objectives stated in the school philosophy, particularly with regard to promoting those skills and graces needed to act responsibly and successfully in adult society, the school has established a code of dress and appearance conducive to a serious scholastic and values-oriented environment.
Grooming
- No extreme or distracting hairstyles or colors will be allowed for boys or girls. This includes hair of two or more different colors, mohawks, mullets, burst fades, faux hawks, hair of an unnatural color, extremely spiked hair, and no lines, designs, beads, shells, tinsel, feathers, etc. are allowed in the hair.
- No designs are allowed to be cut into the eyebrow.
- Boys’ hair must be no longer than 3” from scalp to tip of hair. Boys’ bangs must not be longer than the top of the eyebrows and the back must not be touching the collar, or top of the ears. Hair may not be held in place with the aid of the ears, hairspray, gel, or other hair accessories (ponytails, hair pins, etc.). Hair must be of a moderate length as determined by the school administration. Males must be cleanshaven each day, with sideburns no longer than the ear lobe. Those who are not clean shaven will be issued a lunch detention and given a razor to go shave at school.
- A licensed beautician will be present on both orientation days at the start of school. Haircuts will be administered to those deemed necessary by administration. Each TCHS student who receives a haircut will be responsible for payment of the haircut. Students will be charged via their FACTS account. If a student refuses they will be sent home and this will count as a day of absence. They will not be allowed to return to school until an approved haircut has been received.
- When students are given a deadline for obtaining a haircut, they are expected to get their hair cut by that assigned date. If an additional day or two is needed beyond the deadline given, simply email Mrs. Lancon. If approved haircuts are not obtained by the deadline given, students will be sent home and not allowed back before an approved haircut is obtained.
ALL decisions about hair/grooming are at the total discretion of the TCHS Administration.
