SCHS Medicine Policy
These are the rules set forth by the Archdiocese for students and prescription or Over-The-Counter (OTC) medicines at school.
Students should never have either on their person or in their possession at school. We have a locked medicine cabinet in the office to keep them in.
Prescriptions: When you are given a prescription that needs to be taken during school hours, (either daily or for a short period of time) you must bring an original bottle with pharmacy instructions, to be locked in the cabinet until you need it. The only exception is inhalers, they can be carried by the student.
Over-The-Counter Meds: If Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen (Tylenol), Allergy pills etc.are needed, please bring in your own bottle (in the original packaging) and we will put it in the cabinet with your child’s name on it and administer it as needed.
We will daily mark what medication and time you took it, to be kept on file.

Retreats/Day With A Purpose
St. Catherine’s High School has a long-standing tradition of taking time to build community within our class by doing yearly retreats focused on the Dominican Pillars of study, prayer, service (ministry), and community. Another beloved tradition we have here at St. Catherine’s is our focus on caring for others in our community by going out of the school building and volunteering. This day of service is called A Day With A Purpose. Please remember that this is a mandatory event for all students. Seniors must attend if they plan on walking at graduation.

Confiscated Clothing Policy
As of November 1, 2023 a new policy has gone into effect . It is called the "Confiscated Clothing Policy." Because so many students are continuing to violate the St Catherine's Dress code, a parent will now have to come to the Main Office and pick up any article of clothing that gets confiscated.
As a reminder:
The outermost layer of the students' tops MUST have the Dominican Shield, SC logo, say St. Catherine’s, Angels or be a school approved team/club/spirit wear shirt.
Jackets may not be worn unless it is a SCHS coat or it is underneath a SCHS top.
Hooded sweatshirts will be allowed; however, hoods are always to remain down and must adhere to the above dress code guidelines. (must be SCHS wear and if not need to be under a SCHS top; colors must still be gray, black, white, yellow)
Pants must be khaki, gray, or black pants/denim material. No rips or shreds allowed and no sweatpants!
Students NEED to have thier Yondr Pouch EVERY DAY.
Yes, even if you do NOT have a cell phone you still need it!
Think of it as your ticket into school ...
The 5th offense is a 1-day In-School Suspension and the 6th is a 1-day Out-of-School Suspension!
SCHS Swag
In need of school uniforms? Want a few options to choose from? Please click on either picture to the left to be taken directly to our online uniform store.
