Loyola Sacred Heart Catholic High School
Dress Code

Dress Code and Personal Appearance

LSH students dress and appearance will be neat, clean, and reflect due regard for legitimate sensibilities that support the mission of Catholic education.

Loyola Sacred Heart believes that proper student attire that is clean, neat, practical, and modest, enhances the learning atmosphere and that in cooperation with the parents, students will attend school appropriately dressed.
School attire should demonstrate that the student has both a sense of personal dignity and a sense of what is appropriate for the Missoula Catholic School environment
Appropriate attire takes into consideration Christian modesty, health, comfort, and pride in personal appearance, as well as avoidance of distracting influences
Loyola Sacred Heart also believes that clothing and physical appearance should be an outward expression of the Missoula Catholic community and should exemplify the schools distinction from other schools, while allowing student freedoms as well as corresponding responsibilities.

LSH requires, on certain occasions that students comply with the Official Uniform Code of Dress. All students will wear the Uniform Code of Dress on days of liturgy, competition, and at anytime when students are official representatives of their school.
