PHIS Uniform Guidance
Expectations for Uniforms
- Students will be expected to be in uniform t-shirts or another Pahoa High and Intermediate branded top daily.
- School ID is considered part of the uniform and needs to be visible at all times on campus.
- Students are not to cover uniforms with pull-over style hoodies. Hoodies or other outwear that unzip or otherwise open in the front and can show the uniform top are acceptable.
What if you don’t have your uniform
- For students who come to school without a uniform shirt, one will be provided for you by security or other school staff.
- Students who are issued a uniform for the day must return them to security for cleaning at the end of the day.
- Every effort will be made to get you a uniform shirt of proper size; however, we may have to use larger sizes if your size is not available.
