Dress Code

St. Peter's Boys High School

Dress Code

The purpose of St. Peter's Dress Code is to foster a sense of neatness in our students and to prepare them adequately for the quality of completion in whatever career they aspire to. As such, it is an important ingredient of the school's total educational philosophy and hence will be strictly encouraged. Failure to observe the proper Dress Code will be subject to detention.

Winter Dress Code

1) School Sweater
2) Dress shirt with a sensible tie in place.
3) Clean, neatly pressed pants (No dungarees, athletic, or patch pocket, cargo or painter pants).
4) Dress shoes (heavy work boots or black sneakers are not permitted).
5) Hair neatly groomed (it should not extend over the collar of the suit jacket or

shirt).
6) Faces must be clean-shaven with sideburns trimmed (mustaches are not permitted).
7) No dyeing or bleaching of hair. Hair styles are subject to approval of the Dean of Discipline.
8) School shoes are required for all students.

Summer Dress Code

1) Authorized school shirt in lieu of school sweater, dress shirt and tie. Note: Dress code continues to be in effect during all exams and regents.
2) All other aspects of the dress code (numbers 3 - 8) remain in effect.

The following statements are thought necessary for the clear understanding of the above regulations:

1) Coats or jackets worn to and from school are NOT SUBSTITUTES for the School Sweater worn in school. No dungaree or Army jackets may be worn to or from school.
2) Ties must be worn in place at all times (except during gym classes) during the school day.
3) Shirts lacking a collar button should not be worn.
4) Dungarees, work pants, soiled or tattered pants frayed at the bottom are NOT acceptable.
5) Turtleneck shirts in lieu of a tie are not permitted.
6) Students are not to wear jewelry which may be considered morally objectionable (playboy bunny heads, razor blades, etc.).
7) A single stud-type earring (in lower lobe of one ear only) is permitted.
