The ASTEC Schools’ Uniform Policy aims to encourage and support our school’s learning environment and develop responsible scholars. The ASTEC Board of Directors, administration, and faculty reserve the right to make reasonable faith interpretations of this policy and to address and resolve any issues that may not be specifically listed. The uniform is a dressy-casual, tailored look.
Scholars and teachers who have a cold or are not feeling well are highly encouraged to wear masks while in the presence of others. The school will make decisions based on this standard and intent.

Special Event Dress
Occasionally, ASTEC scholars have the privilege of dressing for a special event. For example, on game days, basketball players are expected to attend school in business attire—clothes one might wear to an important religious service or a job interview.
Other special events, such as banquets, proms, and graduation ceremonies, also call for special dress. Prom guests must adhere to the ASTEC dress code.
Scholars are not permitted to decorate their graduation caps at graduation ceremonies; however, tribal regalia is acceptable.
Young Women
Special event dress must be modest, with no cleavage, and focus on the scholar as a person rather than on her dress or body. Wide straps or sleeves must be worn (i.e., scholars may only wear exposed spaghetti straps and strapless dresses may only be worn with jackets or sweaters that the scholar does not remove at any point). The same applies to backless and partially backless dresses.
Skirts should fall no more than one hand-width above the knee (from all angles). Gowns, dresses, or skirts should not be floor-length. Professional dress for a young woman should include dress pants and/or a skirt with a jacket. Dress shoes – pumps, wedges, or dress heels - are appropriate. Stiletto, platform heels taller than one inch, flip-flops, and tennis/athletic shoes are inappropriate. Female scholars should remember that proper jewelry will complement, not dominate or overshadow; each possesses natural beauty. Glitter on the face, skin, or hair is never allowed, even at evening events.
Young Men
Dress must be tailored and conservative, appropriately sized, and worn traditionally consistent with the spirit of the ASTEC dress code. Dark slacks, dress shirts, and dress shoes are appropriate. At no time are jeans appropriate for professional dress. Ties, sports jackets, and/or vests (worn alone or in combination) can significantly enhance the “professional look” of a young man’s special event attire. Athletic shoes of any kind are not allowed.
Choosing attire for each ASTEC special event is a rare opportunity to practice “dress-for-success” skills to help both male and female scholars advance and succeed after high school. With every ASTEC special event that scholars attend, they can and will become more competent in evaluating the “best dress” for a given occasion, preparing scholars to dress confidently for various social and professional events (at college and in their working lives).
Scholars who need assistance understanding or procuring appropriate special event attire should contact one of the school secretaries, the Assistant Headmaster, or a trusted faculty member.
Scholars sent home for inappropriate professional dress will not be allowed to participate in the evening event.
