Uniform Dress Code
AHA was one of the first public schools in Arizona
to initiate a uniform dress standard. Peer pressure is eliminated
when students dress similarly and can concentrate on academics instead
of modeling the latest clothing fads. There is no "class" distinction
between the "rich or poor." Approved uniform clothing is a requirement
for all students and must be worn appropriately. Clothing is purchased
by families at their own expense through local stores.
