Bishop Rosecrans High School - Zanesville, Ohio

SCHOOL DRESS CODE

Based upon our belief as a Catholic institution, we have an expectation that our students will exhibit modesty and appropriateness in their dress. We also want our students to concentrate on the importance of their character and not on fashion and competition. Students are expected to be neat and well-groomed and to dress in a manner that reflects good taste and decency. Fleece jackets, sports jackets, or outside jackets may not be worn in the building during the school day. Students must be in uniform at the beginning of the school day.
