- Blue bottoms (cotton twill pants or shorts). Denim is not considered uniform, students may wear blue corduroys.

- Students may wear any shoes that they choose, except for flip-flop styled sandals.

2. Earrings are permitted, as long as they are small studs (both ears must be pierced). No dangling or large earrings will be permitted. Single earrings are not permitted to prevent possible gang representation.

3. Gale t-shirts (ISAT, Honor Roll, Principal's Scholars) may be worn in place of the white top; however, uniform bottoms must still be worn.
