Why We Wear Uniform

Bronx River High School is a uniform school and students are expected to be in uniform everyday for the entire day.  Wearing uniform builds a sense of community within our school.  It promotes unity and school spirit, creating a safer environment.  Uniform helps remove the barriers and distractions brought on by materialistic belongings and directs our students to focus fully on their academic achievements and overall performance. Uniforms are available for purchase year-round at the school.
