Uniform Update
Students tend to outgrow uniform garments mid-year. Until we transition to Dennis Uniform for 20-21, contact the school if you need to replenish uniform items.
Although Tommy Hilfiger is still the official uniform provider until May, we do not recommend to place orders through their site since we can't guarantee availability.
