STUDENT DAILY UNIFORM POLICY at Oak Harbor Christian School:
We recognize the need for guidelines regarding the school dress code. This allows students and parents to understand what is expected from our families. A daily school uniform is required for all OHCS students. A school uniform policy helps OHCS provide an ready-to-learn environment for each student, build community and express the Christian values of modesty and respect.
