Uniforms

The philosophy of the required uniform at Central Catholic Junior-Senior High School is to reduce the distraction of materialistic items and place the focus on our students’ education. Students are required to properly wear the uniform from the moment they enter school until they leave school. This includes wearing pants and skirts at their proper height, keeping all appropriate buttons fastened, ties appropriately tied, and all other uniform requirements. The uniform has played an important role in Catholic education and should be a sense of pride to all students. The Carpenter's Son, a local Lafayette retailer, is the official carrier of all LCSS uniform clothing.                   The Carpenter's Son                   1165 S.
