Students are required to wear the approved EHS Polo, distributed to students freshman year during Orientation Day, with dress bottoms, i.e, dress pants or skirts in any color. Skirts must be the approved length of a 5" inseam. Jeans, leggings, sweatpants and/or anything torn or with holes is NOT acceptable.

Dress Code

For regular school days students need to follow the EHS Dress Code. You can find the full Dress Code in the Student Handbook beginning on page 15.

School Supplies

Supplies for students are determined by student schedules. Therefore, each student will have unique supply needs determined by his/her specific classes.

Teachers will give specific instructions about what is needed for class on the first day of school, and students will have adequate time to collect their supplies. With this in mind, for the first day of school students should bring the Edgewood-issued chromebook they received at Orientation, writing utensils, and a notebook.
