PTEC Student Dress Code

Most companies require employees to follow a certain dress code depending on the type of work being performed, the customers being served by the company, safety requirements, or a combination of factors. The dress code at PTEC is no different than going to work for a company and is designed for safety, modesty, and professionalism. All students are expected to be in dress code at all times while on campus during school hours, during school events, or off-campus activities. Any modifications to the dress code for special events will be outlined by PTEC administration in a timely manner for students, parents, and guardians to make appropriate adjustments.
