Dress Code

DSCA Dress Code

Students are expected to dress and look their best at all times, as a sign of both individual and collective pride at DSCA.

At Dripping Springs Christian Academy, the dress code is to ensure that each student in the school body will dress appropriately. We desire for students to dress with modesty and humility, so as not to distract others from their educational and spiritual goals. Staff will be in charge of enforcing the dress code. A dress code violation will result in a reminder, but repetitive violations will result in a student being pulled from class until s/he is appropriately dressed.
