CHHS Dress Code

Students are expected to dress in such a manner that is safe and orderly. Students should refrain from wearing any attire that will create a disturbance that may hinder the education of others.

Pants/Shorts/Skirts

Khaki pants, jeans, shorts, skirts, Capri’s may not contain holes, rips, or tears.

Shorts, skirts and dresses must pass the card test. While standing, place the card, using the longest length, from the bottom of the garment. The end of the card must reach to the top of the knee.

Pants/Trousers/Shorts/ and Skirts must be worn at the waist above the hipbone (No Sagging), and cannot show any undergarments.

Wearing items such as leggings under shorts, skirts, and dresses does not exempt the short, skirt, dress from passing the card test.
