2022-2023 School Dress Code

I am Mae Applegate, the new Dean of Students at Hebron Academy.

Dress Code will be a topic of discussion and collaboration this year in our school community.

I will be facilitating Dress Code Think Tank meetings, where students and faculty will be able to discuss and build a new dress code together that we all respect and value. In the meantime, I have shifted the dress code for this year to be a little more relaxed while we build a new one together.

Our dress code next year will likely be very different from this year. I am encouraging all students who care about the dress code to join our group and help us build a better one! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns!
