School Uniforms

We are all aware of the influence that personal appearance can have on an individual's attitude towards himself/herself and others. It is our hope that the school uniform policy will contribute to a feeling of cohesiveness within our school community and lessen competition or judgment of worth based on outward appearance. Please see the Parent Handbook for the full Uniform Policy. You can also view the uniform requirements according to grade here.

St. Patrick's School requires the purchase of uniform items from True Grits Uniform Company. This includes the P.E. T-shirt and the St. Patrick's sweatshirt. St. Patrick's school code for True Grits is PAT034.

Recycled Uniforms

Recycled uniforms are at least FIFTY PERCENT LESS than new uniforms. Costs are between $5 - $25 for T-Shirts, blouses, Polos, jumpers, skirts, shorts, pants, sweaters, and sweatshirts. If you are interested in purchasing recycled uniforms, please visit John Woods at 2814 University Avenue (between Idaho Street and University Avenue in North Park) between the hours of 9am-4pm, Monday through Friday (or by appointment). You may contact John at 619.987.0001 with any questions. All checks are to be made payable to St. Patrick's PTG and funds go towards school hospitality events. If you have uniform donations, John will accept any clean and usable True Grits uniforms. Thank you for your support of this valuable program.
