The faculty and staff of Bellaire High School expect students to come to school each day dressed appropriately, according to dress code, in order to ensure the health and safety of everyone on campus in addition to neatness of appearance and suitability on campus at all-times including while representing Bellaire High School at school-related activities. Clothing may not be inappropriately revealing, excessively tight, or excessively baggy. Students must dress in a presentable manner.

Campus Dress Code
