Uniform Polo Order Form
The required uniform for all high school students is any color pants/shorts (no jeans) and a polo shirt with the MA logo. You can download and return the polo order form (below) to Danielle Entwistle in the Advancement Office, with a check made out to 'Identities'.
All students can order a navy 1/4 zip pullover with the MA shield and Marquette Academy embroidered on the chest to wear as part of their uniforms. Samples are available to view in the Advancement Office.
(Please note: Uniform polo shirts take 2 weeks to process as they are custom ordered. Make sure to order soon so your child can be in dress code on the first day of school.
