Fostering Respect and Unity

At Calverton, we cherish the value of respect in every aspect of our experience, be it learning, interactions, or self-expression.

 As an embodiment of this principle, we encourage all students and adults to dress in a manner that reflects respect for our school community. In other words, we promote a culture of appearing 'neat and appropriate.' While our faculty upholds professional attire, we kindly request students adhere to our Calverton Cougar Gear guidelines.

As part of this commitment, we ask students to ensure shirts are tucked in, belts are worn when necessary, undergarments are hidden, and oversized or outdoor clothing is avoided indoors. 

To support our uniform policy, we recommend ordering Calverton Cougar Gear from either Lands End or Dennis Uniform, which are fully familiar with our requirements. By selecting our school on their websites, you will find a curated selection of approved items, ensuring a hassle-free shopping experience.

By embracing Calverton Cougar Gear, we foster a sense of unity and pride among our students. Let our attire reflect our shared commitment to respect and excellence.
