FHCA Dress Code
" And let not your adornment be external only, but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. (1 Peter 3:3-4)
The purpose of the School's Dress Code is to ensure that students dress modestly(1 Tim. 2:9) and to encourage a dignity consistent with the school's mission and values. The administration and the School Board believe that a prescribed dress code promotes community and decreases distractions. A dress code helps promote neatness, decreases competition, and helps improve behavior. The cooperation both parents and students as to compliance with this dress code is appreciated.
