Students may wear previously purchased shirts or pants from Lands’ End and Tommy Hilfiger and previously purchased skirts from Tommy Hilfiger.
Students may continue to wear Tommy Hilfiger or Lands’ End pants that are black or blue with embroidered logos, but may also wear khaki, navy blue, or black colored pants from any brand they choose, provided they are clean, do not have holes, are not cargo pants or leggings, and meet the expectation of “neatly, cleanly, and modestly” worn.

Polo shirts must be worn tucked in at all times. Students may not purchase their own shirts and have the logo embroidered on them from a local vendor. All uniform tops must come from the Twice is Nice sale, Tommy Hilfiger, or the school’s Spirit Shop.

St. Michael’s High School entertains “spirit dress” every Friday and additional days as specified by the administration. Spirit days serve to promote school spirit and pride throughout the school year.

Outer Garments
Sweaters/Vests:

Jackets/Coats:

Mass Dress
Students are required to be in Mass Dress for Mass and prayer services as well as for specified assemblies and special occasions. These school days and occasions are indicated on the school calendar.
Juniors and senior students are permitted to wear “Sunday Best” for Mass. “Sunday Best” requires at least a tie or bowtie for boys and a skirt/dress/romper for girls. Boys, for example, may opt to wear a non St. Michael’s button down dress shirt with a tie and a vest and dress pants or slacks. Girls may choose to wear a nice dress instead of the customary pants and button down Mass shirt. Girls’ “Sunday Best” must be, by most reasonable opinions, modest and conservative. Cocktail dresses that are short (above the knee), shorter than fingertip length when arms are extended downward with shoulders relaxed), skin tight, and/or revealing are prohibited. If any students are curious about what will and won’t be permitted under “reasonable opinion” for Sunday Best, they should consult with the principal, assistant principal, or school counselors BEFORE Mass Day begins (the day before).
Junior and senior students who are not in “Sunday Best” for Mass are required to follow the standard Mass Dress guidelines.

Student Health
St. Michael’s High School does not have a nurse on duty at the school. In accordance with state law, all students are required to have up-to-date immunizations to enroll or remain in school.
Any student taking prescription medication on campus must have a current note on file with the school counselor or attendance clerk. The note must be signed by the student’s parent/guardian specifically requesting that the child be allowed to carry the medication on campus and identifying the medication and the dosage. Only a daily dosage may be carried on campus by a student. Arrangements must be made for the medication to be kept in the Administrative Office.
The medication must be kept in its original container, with the prescription label, in a ziploc bag with a parental note requesting that the child be allowed to administer the specified medication him/herself as prescribed. Only a weekly dosage may be kept in the office. If the medication is long term arrangements will be modified. No medication can be administered by any faculty/staff member. The student will receive an official note to present to their teacher stating that they need to go to the front office to take their prescribed medication.
In case of a medical emergency, the school will attempt to contact a parent/guardian. If the parent/guardian cannot be reached immediately, the administration may call 911 for professional medical assistance and possible transport to Christus St. Vincent Hospital at the expense of the parent/guardian.

Due to safety and security purposes, students will be required to wear a student identification badge this year. The student ID will be issued by the school and must be visibly displayed on the front of that person to whom the badge was issued using a lanyard provided by the school. Seniors will be issued a specific color of lanyard. The rest of the student body will have a different color.
Identification badges are used for safety, compliance, and tracking of students. Therefore, trading, sharing, or loss of badges will be subject to disciplinary action. Loss of, misplaced, or stolen IDs must be replaced. The replacement cost will be charged to the student account. Seniors who are leaving campus for lunch must display their student ID with the appropriate color lanyard.
For safety purposes, students may not go to class until they obtain a temporary ID, until the student receives a new one. ID replacement cost is $10.00 and only cash is accepted. Temporary ID badges must be obtained from the front office. Teachers must check for student IDs when students enter the classroom. IDs are also required for any school function such as athletic games, school activities, and dances.
