Textbooks

Families will have the opportunity to purchase or rent books from eCampus.com as well as browse options offered on third party websites such as Amazon.com and purchase from those sites while on the eCampus.com website. St. Paul does not publish a separate bookstore list, but all ISBNs for textbooks are available on the eCampus.com website. Course numbers on student schedules will allow you to order the appropriate textbooks from the website.

The virtual bookstore will open for St. Paul families on Monday, July 21st.Orders placed from July 21-27 will receive free shipping. When using the eCampus.com website, the easiest approach is to build a separate account for each St. Paul student in your family using each student’s St. Paul email address as the username. This will ensure that the ebooks ordered for each student get delivered to the correct student.

Uniforms

St. Paul Catholic High School’s uniform is designed to reinforce neatness, modesty, and provide a cohesive identity of the students of the school. Uniforms can create a focused atmosphere by reducing distractions and thus creating a successful learning environment. A student’s appearance should show a sense of pride at all times.

All uniforms must be purchased through our uniform partner, Tommy Hilfiger, with the exception of school pants. Students may purchase  pants at a store of their choosing as long as they are khaki color, are not form fitting, and do not have patch pockets.  Joggers are also not permitted.  Students of the Class of 2026 may wear uniforms previously purchased from other uniform companies, Dennis & Land End, provided they meet the uniform requirements, i.e. can be tucked in and meet length requirements.

All families have access to purchase uniforms using the website: https://www.globalschoolwear.com/school/STPA21

Students who frequently need to be reminded about dress code violations will be subject to disciplinary measures.  The administration reserves the right to make decisions about the appropriateness of any student’s appearance.
