HIDE Freshman Ranger Academy

Students may wear a Nathan Hale Spirit Shirt every day with uniform pants. If the shirt is not a Spirit Shirt then it must have a collar. Jeans with a Spirit Shirt or uniform shirt still on Friday only!

The dress code has been established to identify specific standards that all students must follow.  Administrators and teachers will enforce and participate in the dress code policy. The administration shall be the final judge as to compliance with the dress code.

This dress code is established for two purposes: first, to develop a community among the students and staff; and second, to be dressed in a manner that displays school pride as the school will have visitors and work with higher education, business, and community partners on a regular and frequent basis.

All students in 9th grade are required to wear the following uniform:

khaki pants 

• Pants must not have more than 4-pockets (two in front and two in back).  No cargo-style pants, no denim or jeans, no leggings or jeggings (no spandex of any kind). Khaki shorts and skirts are allowed but must reach the knee.

Top outer garment

  • Jackets must be navy or gray only with no hood.
  • Sweatshirt must be navy or gray (no hoodies).
  • Items can be purchased through the School Spirit Store.
  • Student-athletes may wear Ranger Sports apparel on game day only as long as they are in good standing (all grades at a C or higher, good attendance and behavior).
• Polo shirts must be tucked in and a belt must be worn.   Belts must be brown or black only.
• No open toe shoes or house shoes.
• Undershirts, even with long sleeves extended out of the polo, are allowed; must be red to match the polo or white. Hoodies and jackets are not allowed to be worn during the school day unless approved by administration due to inclement weather (lockers are provided to store outerwear).
