Dress Code

Manner of Dress and Personal Appearance
We depend on parents to work with the school in maintaining the appearance standards of the dress code by checking students before they leave for school ,making sure they are groomed properly. It is understood that enrollment in FHS means a pledge on the part of both parents and students to abide by these dress code standards. Please read this section with your children to make sure they understand and agree to follow this code.

The following is the K-12 dress code. This clothing must be from a “uniform line” of clothing or be consistent with the style and fabric in this line.  Some clothing items are available in the school bookstore. Local companies where clothing items can be purchased include (but are not limited to)  JC Penney, Kohl’s, Old Navy, Walmart and Target.  There is a Clothing Exchange room at the school where families are encouraged to find items that could fit their children, and donate items their children can no longer wear.  Ask the office for details.
