Hairstyles for All Girls and Boys
In the spirit of cultivating a business-like appearance and without being legalistic, we require hair to be neatly groomed, avoiding styles and cuts that are distractions. All—hair should be natural colors, and no images, words, symbols, or logos shaved into the hair. Grammar school boys—hair must be trimmed above the collar and brushed or combed out of the face. Upper school boys—hair must be trimmed above the collar and out of the face or pulled back in a well-groomed ponytail. Topknots or “man-buns” are not permitted. Young men should be clean shaven or have well-groomed facial hair.
