Bishop Chatard High School did not enforce the rule that male students be clean shaven when mask mandates were in place. As we emerge from this pandemic we continue to respect the right of students to continue wearing masks; however, masks are not allowed to be used for the sole purpose of covering facial hair.
Beginning Monday, May 2, all male students will be expected to be clean shaven while in attendance at Bishop Chatard High School. Please make sure your son is clean shaven on Monday morning.
