Hair Styles/Facial Hair

Students are expected to have sensible, conventional hair styles. Haircuts and/or hair styling should be maintained on a regular basis. The following guidelines are established out of a concern for the student’s neat and clean appearance; we recognize that they may have no relationship to a student’s ability to learn.

  1. Hair should be above the collar, above the ear, above one’s eyebrows, and within a height of one inch. Hair needs to be continuously faded around the head (on both the sides and back neckline). Extreme styles or fads are prohibited, e.g., dyed or bleached hair, streaking, undercuts, wedges, plaited hair, cornrows, braids, dreadlocks, twisted hair, asymmetrical cuts, or mullet style hairstyles, etc.
    1. The above list is not all inclusive, but may help clarify the issue. Hair must be groomed daily prior to attending school. Students may be asked to comb their hair to meet professional expectations. The Assistant Head of School of Student Formation will be the final judge of acceptable hair styles and neatness, and students may be sent home until grooming and uniform issues are resolved.
  2. No lines/cuts are allowed in either hair or eyebrows. Students who arrive on campus with lines cut into their eyebrows will be sent home each day that it is visible.
  3. Students must be clean shaven. Students may not have mustaches or beards; sideburns may extend no farther than the bottom of the ear lobe. Any student who does not come to school clean shaven will be required to shave using a disposable razor provided by the school and will be required to pay $1.00, which will be used for Salesian mission work. Any students found to not be within shaving guidelines may be issued a detention each violation.

All of the above haircut and appearance guidelines must be followed by all active students during all summer activities (practices, camps, games, etc.) whether on campus or off.
