Dress and appearance not only reflect the attitude of an individual but also influence the attitudes of others and contribute to an overall tone. The objective at Northridge is one of serious study and character formation and Northridge students dress in a manner that promotes a tone of professional neatness.
Northridge does not have a particular uniform provider (except for the Middle School tie); you can choose where to purchase your son’s school attire. They are readily available at most department stores or men’s clothing retailers.
