2017-2018 Dress Code
TCHS STUDENT DRESS CODE for 2017-2018 School Year

Each student must dress in a manner which is appropriate for school and its related activities. Good personal appearance, appropriate dress, proper behavior, and a healthy personal hygiene are vital to each member of the school community.
