Jeans shall be an appropriate fit, and in keeping with appropriate length for shorts, skorts, and skirts, as mentioned above.

Approved Class T-Shirt: This includes the PAC spirit shirt (available on their website) or the senior t-shirt, which will be designed by the senior class and available for purchase around September. Seniors who have earned a college acceptance may wear the college shirt on spirit days starting semester 2, once the Assistant Principal of Administration has received and reviewed proof of the college acceptance(s).

Outerwear: During the school day, non-uniform jackets and outerwear are NOT permitted and must be taken off when entering the building. Only BDCHS school crest outerwear may be worn as an outer garment during school hours. Hooded outerwear is NOT permitted inside the building, even if it has the BDCHS school crest.
