Kennedy-Kenrick Catholic High School

Dress Code

The way we dress says much about us as a person. Your manner of wearing the uniform indicates respect for yourself, your family, and the community of KKCHS. Any message antithetical to Catholic values may not be displayed or worn. There are to be NO INNOVATIONS to conform to current fashion. This includes adjustments made to the skirt or skort to alter the original shape or style or the uniform itself.

The official school uniform should be purchased from FLYNN and O’HARA UNIFORMS, Philadelphia, PA, phone # 1-800-441-4122. FLOCCO’S, 110 Fayette Street Conshohocken, Pa phone # 610-828-5544 is our local distributor of the school shoe.
