The official uniform is made up of the following items. Some pieces are only available at the School Uniforms by Tommy Hilfiger Store or the Uniform Exchange. All other pieces may be purchased elsewhere as long as they MATCH IN STYLE, COLOR, AND TEXTURE to uniform pieces available on the online store. Please contact the school office with questions.
