The girls’ uniform consists of a royal blue neatly ironed NDHS skirt that must be at mid-knee length. Skirts must be worn at waist level. The neatly ironed white three-quarter-sleeve tailored-shirt and blue tie complement the skirt. Socks are solid white and not worn higher than mid-calf. Shoes must be closed back and solid white ankle length.

The boys’ uniform consists of a neatly ironed blue buttoned-down collar shirt with the Notre Dame emblem embroidered on the pocket. The neatly ironed NDHS pants or shorts are navy blue with the “ND” embroidered on the belt loop. Shorts or slacks must be worn at the waist and be an appropriate size for the body type. A belt must secure the shorts or slacks. Solid dark colored shoes with same colored laces properly tied may be worn.
