• Uniform Information

  At Paul VI, we firmly believe that having all students wear a school uniform creates a sense of belonging. Full details are provided in the Student Handbook.
  
  

  PVI has partnered with FlynnO’Hara, our uniform vendor, to update the school uniform beginning in the 2026–2027 school year. The new items are designed to be more affordable and durable, featuring performance fabrics in polos and quarter zips. Boys’ pants will also be available in performance fabric, and girls will have a plaid skort embroidered with “Paul VI,” along with built-in performance fabric briefs for comfort and modesty.

  
  

  Students in the Class of 2027 and the Class of 2029 will be grandfathered in for the 2026–2027 school year and may wear either their current uniforms or the new uniforms. The Class of 2027 senior polo shirt with red school seal will also be available from FlynnO'Hara soon.

  
  

  Please note that the black and gray crewneck sweatshirts previously included in the uniform are now considered spirit wear and are no longer part of the official uniform for any class.
