EHS Uniform


To ensure the students’ neat, safe, well-groomed appearance and to avoid dress competition and classroom distractions, Episcopal High School adheres to a uniform policy.  Within the uniform guidelines, however, students are offered a variety of options.

All students are expected to comply with these uniform guidelines, which will be strictly enforced through the Mark System.

The uniform dress code has been established to remind students of their participation in a community greater than themselves.  The uniform helps to remind us daily that belonging to such an educational institution requires effort and allows for enhanced respect, personal enrichment, and the achievement of maximum potential.  Uniforms help students focus on academics, and they must adhere to the uniform policy established by the EHS administration and approved unanimously by the Board of Trustees.

*Note:  When placing an order at Lands’ End, be sure to mention the EHS Preferred School number:  9000-5655-7.  Although the School requires all above-the-waist garments to be embroidered with the EHS logo, it is not automatically done when placing an order.  For this reason, when contacting Lands’ End, you must specifically request that the EHS logo be applied to every shirt, sweater, and sweatshirt that you order.  Please remember to request this service, since students will not be permitted to wear any above-the-waist garments that are not embroidered with the EHS logo. Families typically can expect to receive their orders within 7 to 10 days after placing them with Lands’ End.  To ensure that your student is in proper uniform on the first day of school, however, please place your order early in the summer.
