Uniform Code of Dress 2024-2025
MHCHS has been approved as a uniform code of dress school since its founding in 1998.
In general, MHCHS staff has discretion in making judgments relating to the appropriateness of dress in the school environment. Appropriate dress and uniform is necessary in order to maintain an atmosphere that is conducive to learning and safety. Massey Hill Classical High School is focused on learning and the staff and administration are committed to providing a safe, orderly learning environment for all students. In order to support this, the following uniform dress code will be enforced:
Tops or bottoms can be solid-color Black, Navy, Hunter or Forest Green, White, Gray, or Khaki. Blue jeans/denim material are not permitted. Pants must be dress/chino/slacks or comparable style. Cargo pants are not permitted.
Students must wear either collared polo shirts or collared button downs (long sleeve or short sleeve). Collars must be visible under outerwear (i.e. plain crewneck sweatshirts, sweaters, etc.).
Non-bulky outerwear (Jackets similar to those available for purchase through the school, fleece vests, cardigans, sweaters, solid-colored crewneck sweatshirts, and school/vendor purchased or issued letterman jackets) can be worn throughout the day. Such outerwear must be solid-color in Black, Navy, Hunter or Forest Green, White, Gray, or Khaki. Bulky outerwear (i.e. bubble jackets, etc.) may be worn to and from school, but should remain in the student’s locker during the school day. For school safety and security purposes, hoodies, with the exception of the senior hoodie, may not be worn during the school day. Hoodies purchased from the school in the previous school year may also be worn on Fridays. Hoods may not be worn in the school building at any time.
Leggings/tights are permitted under skirts. Leggings must be neutral solid color tights. Leggings/tights may not be worn in the place of pants/shorts/skirts.
Skirts, shorts, and dresses must be worn in a manner that prevents the display of undergarments. The hemlines of these garments should not exceed three inches above the knees. If the hemline falls within three inches above the knee, it must be accompanied by underlying garments such as bike shorts, non-transparent leggings, stockings, or shorts that extend below the three-inch mark above the knee.
Shoes may be any color, however they must have a closed toe and closed heel. Slides and slippers are not permitted. Due to the hazards presented on the stairs and entrances to our historic building, crocs, slippers, and slides are not permitted. Additionally, no shoes with a greater than a two inch heel or platform may be worn.
Blue or black jeans without holes may be worn only on Fridays with an accompanying school shirt. Examples of school shirts include the uniform shirt, Skittle shirts (provided by MHCHS), and club shirts and Sports shirts/jerseys will be permitted on Fridays. The sports shirt/jersey must be from the student’s home school and the student must be a current member of the team and/or activity, including during the off-season.
Physical Education (PE) Uniforms: Students in Health/PE must wear the school issued PE uniform available for purchase through the school. Students who need assistance with purchasing these uniforms should contact the school for assistance. Leggings/yoga pants may be worn under the school issued PE uniform.
All backpacks must stay in lockers. They will not be permitted in the classrooms. Students may have a personal bag that is no larger than 8.5” x 11.
