School Uniform Overview

Bergan Catholic School implements a dress code for several reasons. Most notably, it symbolizes a unified student body and community with shared values and aspirations. The dress code does not restrict individual expression, which students can demonstrate through academic achievements, personal growth, and spiritual development. Students are not obligated to purchase every item available; instead, they have the flexibility to select preferred items and colors from a variety of options.

Slacks/Pants

(Khaki) DSU, French Toast, or another retailer that matches the color of DSU of French Toast.
Slacks must be dress quality, traditional cut, with slash not patch pockets. A flap pocket is permissible if designed on the back of the slack, not the sides and/or front. Carpenter loops are not allowed. No denim of any color or style. Colors must be the same khaki color of DSU and French Toast.
Pants are to be worn as they are tailored. They are not to be rolled up higher on the legs.
Pants are to be worn at the natural waistline. The waist-size should not be larger than one’s actual waist. “Bag and sag” styles are unacceptable. Due to the violation of modesty, a detention will be issued if undergarments beneath one’s pants become visible.
