Dress Code 2009 - 2010
Uniform Philosophy:
As a Marquette Catholic student, you represent all members of the school community: administration, faculty, staff, the current student body, your family, and all of Marquette’s alumni and friends. The school and team sport uniforms that you wear identify you as a member of our Catholic community. Uniforms are to be worn daily unless specified by the administration: Blazerwear Days, Severe Weather (pants/shorts/jackets), School Sponsored Jean Days, Special Events, Thursday-Mass (boys wear ties). All shirts, sweaters, ties and girls’ skirts must be purchased through the school selected vendors. All items will be made available to students at registration and during the spring and summer months prior to enrollment. Wearing your uniform properly and with pride reflects positively on yourself and all of the Marquette Catholic community.
At Marquette Catholic High School we seek to maintain an atmosphere that is conducive to the highest quality of academic pursuit.
