Parents have requested what our uniform policy is so they can get a jump start on buying for next year. This is NOT the full uniform policy. You will get a detailed policy before the end of school. We are also adding a plaid to our uniform but that pattern has not been finalized yet.
We are coordinating with CHS before uniform policies are finalized.

Sorry for the confusion.

Good luck to our basketball players as they play in their final tournament.
