Dress Code

Marin Catholic is committed to providing a safe, respectful environment for its staff and students. MC students are expected to follow our behavior guidelines, based on respect, at all times.

Enrolled families: Please refer to the Resource Board in MC Connect for the official Parent/Student Handbook which includes more detailed dress code information. 
Earlier this year, Marin Catholic announced our new partnership with School Uniforms by Tommy Hilfiger as our official school uniform vendor. Uniform items are currently available on the Tommy Hilfiger website.

Marin Catholic High School believes that dressing for success is an important aspect of who we are as a community. As a college preparatory high school, we hold one another to higher standards in all areas through rigorous academic curriculum, deeply rooted in Catholic faith, competitive sports teams, formation of  leaders and  a dress code that models our values.
Students are expected to dress in a manner appropriate for Marin Catholic. General appearance should not blatantly or subtly promote unhealthy or negative attitudes, practices or lifestyles. Any clothing that is torn, stained, inappropriately patched, or in a state of disrepair is unacceptable. Appropriate shoes must be worn at all times. The Deans of Students will determine whether or not specific clothing and/or jewelry are appropriate for school, and they may make changes to the dress code as necessary throughout the year.
General Dress Code Guidelines:

  • All clothing should fit properly without being excessively tight or baggy.
