• The 2018-2019 Student Dress Code for University High School has been established to build student self-esteem, bridge socioeconomic differences and encourage positive behavior.  A dress also promotes school safety and improves the learning environment.  We expect all University High School students to school on time and in compliance with the dress code every day.
