It, furthermore, reserves to itself the exclusive right to determine the criteria for fitness and propriety.
- Identity and dress: Dress will be symbolic of the Pharr Oratory of St. Philip Neri School System students’ inner self and aspirations: i.e., orderliness, cleanliness, modesty, decency, virtue, emotional stability, other-centeredness, respect for others and for all things important, etc. Whenever the student is wearing the Pharr Oratory of St. Philip Neri School System uniform, his every action should bespeak the presence of a Christian lady or gentleman.
