Why DSHA Has a Uniform Policy

DSHA has a uniform policy for many reasons. Research has shown that improved attendance and academic achievement are associated with school uniforms. Additionally, DSHA values uniforms for the school community because wearing them accomplishes the following:

  • Encourages school pride and unity
  • Serves as a symbol of DSHA and its commitment to academic achievement and service to the community
  • Creates a sense of belonging and identity
  • Prepares students to select and wear professional attire in their future careers
  • Minimizes peer pressure and social conflict related to clothing, appearance, and status
  • Lowers clothing costs for families
  • Emphasizes a focus on academics without the distraction of appearances
  • Prevents bullying related to clothing as a status symbol
  • Eases the stress of daily routines (potentially allowing for more sleep each morning
  • Fosters better behavior through greater respect for the learning atmosphere
  • Promotes creativity through personality and academic achievement as opposed to materialistic possessions
