UNIFORMS ON SCHOOL TRIPS

All one day excursion field trips are part of the regular curriculum at Notre Dame Catholic High School.  Students must realize that, while on field trips, they are ambassadors of our school and must conduct themselves accordingly.  Thus, school uniforms are mandatory for school trips, unless otherwise permitted by the Principal. Overnight trips will be considered on a case by case basis.
