GWA
UNIFORMS
We
believe that the dress code is an important component in promoting
and teaching many characteristics that we feel are essential such
as responsibility, accountability, attention to detail, and the
importance of a neat and well-groomed appearance. There are guidelines
that govern dress and grooming to ensure a relatively consistent
appearance. Our uniform also serves as a reminder that each of
our students is a part of something special and unique, something
that is greater than they are. Thus there are guidelines that
govern dress and grooming to ensure a consistency of appearance.
