BENEFITS OF SCHOOL UNIFORMS
Uniforms offer a variety of time-honored benefits to students and their families:
- Helps students focus on academics
- Reduces peer pressure
- Promotes modesty and dignity of human body
- Minimizes disruptions and distractions
- Enhances school identity
- Saves time and money
UNIFORM POLICIES/DRESS CODES
Uniforms are not required in P3s or P4s but they are required in PreK and all other grade levels.
Immaculate Conception, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and St. Francis each have their appearance standards. As students grow in maturity, they are expected to pay more attention to the uniform in which they do their “work,” which is school.
PURCHASING UNIFORMS
Dennis Uniform Company is our preferred supplier for school uniforms. Our school code is HGT. Although most uniform purchases are made online, you are also welcome to shop in the Auburn Hills Store, 1532 N. Opdyke Rd. #450, Auburn Hills, MI 48326 248 340-8890, or in the company’s Chicago location. Dennis Uniform also sometimes hosts a new uniform sale at one of our schools.

LOGO/EMBROIDERY
The GTACS or St. Francis logo may only be applied to non-uniform apparel or gear, and only with prior approval of the GTACS marketing or athletics department.
USED UNIFORMS
There are two ways to buy/sell used uniforms. One is the annual Used Uniform Sale. The other is the GTACS Uniform Exchange Facebook page. Be sure to take advantage of these money-saving tools, and also help us preserve the integrity of our uniform policy by not buying or selling non-current garments.
JEAN DAY/DRESS DOWN DAY
The third Friday of every month is designated as a Jean or Dress Down Day (some exceptions apply). On these days, students may bring in a dollar or more and wear Gladiator spirit wear or a suitable other shirt/top of their choosing. Please guide your students toward appropriate attire that reflects our Christ-centered environment. Through the years, our students and their families have donated thousands of dollars to local charities such as Boots for Kids, the Father Fred Foundation, the Pregnancy Care Center and more. Occasionally, special Dress Down/Jean Days may be declared at the discretion of the Principals, Superintendent or Bishop.
SPIRIT WEAR/GLAD GEAR
Gladiators love to wear their school spirit! You can purchase hats, sweatshirts, and other Gladiator apparel through the our local partner, Threads.
