Why do students at Saint Gertrude wear uniforms? School uniforms promote a single standard of dress. The school environment becomes less socially competitive and more focused on learning. Uniforms help build a sense of community and create an atmosphere of belonging. Uniforms save on everyone's budget and our students will tell you that by wearing a uniform your daughter will know exactly what she has to wear each day. No decisions, no worry, and most importantly, no fuss. In other words, your daughter can concentrate on more important things such as her academic success.

Gator Wear For sweatshirts, sweatpants, t-shirts, Gator hats, Gator socks, and other Gator Gear, our Gator Shop can help you.
Does my daughter ever get to wear “regular” clothes? Yes. We have “tag days” at SGHS. If an occasion arises for a special theme, students may pay the specified donation to wear regular clothes that fit the theme of the day. This donation always goes to a charity or towards a school project. If students do not participate, they must wear all of the correct uniform.
What is allowed for Tag Day? Appropriate and presentable clothes are allowed. This does not include sweatpants or jeans with holes. Any clothing that distracts other students may not be worn. (Complete Tag Day information is provided in the Student/Parent Handbook.) On occasion, permission will be given for students to wear shorts. These shorts must be Bermuda length. If students have a fitness class on a tag day, they are expected to dress out and wear appropriate gym clothes for class.
