Culver Academy Uniforms


This past weekend, I was in Culver, Indiana for more hockey games. We played two games at Culver Academy. For those that do not know, Culver Academy is a Military Academy for high school aged students from all over the world. Many of them from Spain. Students who attend this academy, must wear their uniforms at all times except for when they are in their dorm rooms. Girls are allowed to change into jeans on Friday and Saturday nights but not until 7pm. The girls wear navy blue and green plaid skirts with black tights on the bottom and on top they wear white button up collard shirts with navy sweaters on top. Since it was pretty cold last night, most of them we wearing black pea coats as well. The guys we wearing blue military pants that had a navy blue stripe down each leg and on the top, they wore blue button up shirts with maroon sweaters over the shirts and had navy jackets on top. A two digit number of the year the boy was going to graduate was sewn on the left shoulder of the jacket. Every time they guys would walk into the ice rink, they would remove their hats as a sign of respect and they would put them back on as the left the building. It is amazing to me that these students wear these uniforms every single day. Has anyone ever seen these Culver students before?

I've seen their uniforms before, there are tons of pictures on their offical site. I hope to go to Culver for high school myself, but I do actually think that the uniforms are kinda cute. But it must be freezing to wear a skirt in the evening, the must have cold weather with lake side affect.
