Dressed for Success

Uniform Dress Code for All Legacy Students

At Legacy, we know that minimizing distractions leads to a better learning environment. Students are expected to come to school in a presentable manner that demonstrates respect for themselves and their school.

All school attire should be fitted, clean and neat. Hairstyles should be neatly groomed and non-distracting –it should not obstruct vision, or interfere with or become a distraction to the learning environment. Extreme hair design, such as mohawks of any length, or shaved designs, and unnatural hair colors are not permitted.

Legacy Traditional Schools does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, or national origin in its administration of this hair grooming policy.
