Dress Code
Heritage students are expected to dress modestly and in good taste. Students must be neat, clean and well groomed at all times – during and after school hours – while on campus and at all school-related functions. It is important that students keep in mind they serve as ambassadors for Heritage Christian Academy. In keeping with these principles, students at Heritage Christian Academy are required to wear a prescribed dress code, and every student who accepts a place in Heritage’s student body agrees to abide by the dress code guidelines. It is recommended that clothing be purchased at Lands End in order to keep all colors consistant especially the colors Cobalt & Maize.
