Heritage Academy students seek professional careers, which will put them in the scrutiny of the public. Knowledge and practice of appropriate dress is key to future success. Parents and students are encouraged to plan a wardrobe according to the Heritage Academy dress code. Students are responsible for following the dress code.

Dress which is appropriate for school is:

1. Clothing that projects a positive image to the public.
2. Clothing that is clean and free from tears and fraying.
3. Clothing that is modest and does not reveal cleavage, bare midriff, or thighs.
4. Clothing and hair color that do not distract.

Specifics regarding the dress code are:

1. Shoes: Shoes must be neat and clean. No bare feet or house slippers at any time. Golf shoes may not be worn in the school building. Flip flops are not recommended on wooden steps that can become slippery and dangerous.
2. Lower Body: Pants, shorts, skirts, or dresses of appropriate length and fit. Blue jeans without holes/tears may be worn. Rain wear, over pants, workout attire, sweatpants, and short-shorts are not allowed. Girls may not wear leggings or yoga pants without a skirt or tunic that reaches 6 inches or less above the knee. Shorts/skirts/dresses must reach 6 inches or less above the knee when worn with or without leggings.
3. Upper Body: Shirts must be neat, clean and without tears/holes. Boys must tuck in their shirts. No t-shirts (long or short sleeve, round or v-neck) can be worn unless under a collared over-shirt or sweater. No shirts with profanity or suggestive advertisement can be worn to school at any time. No tank tops, spaghetti straps, or tops that show cleavage or midriff can be worn alone.
4. Accessories: Sunglasses, hats and sweatshirt hoods may not be worn at school except when outside. No visible body piercing except for pierced ears is allowed.
