Professional Dress Days are a part of the goals and mission of this career technical school and are required for all students. Students are expected to dress in professional business attire on specified dates of school events. The MTCHS Professional Dress Rubric details requirements and students assess themselves and ask a staff member to assess them for a combined total score. Each Professional Dress Day is worth a total of 40 points.
