Parkdale parents, students, teachers, and administrators formulated the student dress policy for Parkdale High School. It reflects standards held in common by the Parkdale Learning Community and incorporates the Prince George’s County Public Schools System-Wide Dress Code for Students.   

It is highly recommended that all students wear uniforms with Parkdale logos. Uniforms may be purchased from Cort Athletics by clicking here.
