Uniforms

In order to maintain uniform appearance and proper comportment throughout the school day and at school events, all students, staff and faculty must follow the dress code expectation of their biological sex while on campus and while representing the school at outside functions. Modesty is expected at all times.

New uniforms can be purchased thru Lands' End or Okie Print throughout the year. We encourage you to sign up for Lands' End emails to be notified of sales throughout the year.

Over the summer, Bishop McGuinness hosts a Used Uniform Sale. Information about how to donate to the sale, and the sale itself will be sent toward the end of the school year.
