BURKE HIGH SCHOOL DRESS CODE POLICY (2023-2024)

Burke High School seeks to maintain a safe and orderly environment for learning. To assist in accomplishing this goal, a school uniform policy has been established along with the CCSD Dress Code Policy. All students are expected to adhere to the school dress code policy daily starting the first day of school. The Burke High School uniform consists of the following:

  • Students may wear varying styles of bottoms; dresses, skirts, pants, or shorts must be of adequate length to ensure modesty. If bottoms are distressed or have large/oversized holes, leggings or tights must be worn underneath. At no time should students expose undergarments or bare skin.

  • Students may wear varying styles of tops without hoods (this includes hooded jackets and sweatshirts). Students may not wear tank tops, midriffs or tops/shirts that expose bare skin from the upper chest to mid-thigh or display alcohol, tobacco, and/or drug messages or paraphernalia.

  • Hats, hoods, bandanas, durags, hair bonnets, and ski-masks should not be worn on campus during the instructional day.

All students are subject to dress code inspections daily as deemed necessary by the school administration. Failure to comply with the student dress code expectations will result in consequences aligned with CCSD’s Progressive Discipline Plan.
