Q & A

Yes. Uniform wear is a mandatory part of the program and this is documented in our cadet guide. In addition, willingly failing to wear the uniform is a faiure to follow a directive/disobeying a command. However, if there is a mitigating cirumcumstance such as a legitimate accident or an injury that l prevents wear of an item such as shoes, we will not hold that against the cadet. However a cadet that can't legitimately wear the uniform will be inspected on dress and appearnace standards to include inspection of haircut, nails and clothing without tears and the removal of piercings, . 

On uniform day, the uniform must be worn for the entire day. If a uniform is removed for other than gym or an art class and not put back on, the cadet will loose 10 ponts for each period out of uniform. I.E., if a cadet has AFJROTC during second bell and receives a 100 for a grade then subsequently removes the uniform and never puts it back on, their grade will be reduced by deducting 10 points for each of the remaining classes (including Tartan Time) of the day.

Even if your child does not have class they must wear the uniform. It is their responsibility to come down at the start of school, during Tartan Time or at the end of the day (before 2:30 pm) to get inspected. If they do not, they will receive a zero for a grade. 

Uniform wear is mandatory once a cadet receives all items. The uniform is usually worn one day per week and at Highland that day is Wednesday. The uniform must be worn for the entire day.
