It is highly recommended that scholars and their families purchase a blazer and one other outerwear piece of your choice. (Non-uniform Coats, jackets, hoodies, etc… will be put away during the school day).

• Hats, head coverings and hoods are not approved with the STEAM High uniform, but may be worn for religious practices followed by individual scholars and their families, on dress down/spirit wear days, or with special permission from the leadership team.

Special non-uniform days will be scheduled throughout the year and will be available as spirit days, and rewards for accomplishments.
