Students will be allowed to wear polo shirts every day, Monday through Friday. The polo shirts MUST be purchased from Nazareth’s approved vendor with the Nazareth logo on the upper left of the chest, in the available colors of maroon, grey, and pink. Polo shirts may not be tied or knotted to appear more tightly fitted.

Students may also wear a Nazareth logo crewneck, available in maroon and black. Pants, skirts, and footwear can be purchased from the vendor of your choosing, if they adhere to the guidelines below.

Using this order form to purchase uniform in bulk will result in savings on uniform pieces. We may have some extra items in various sizes available throughout the year for replacement pieces, at a slightly higher cost of an additional $5 per item in between order forms.
