The St. Paul University system, especially SPUQC, has developed a cult following regarding the school's prescribed uniform. From the checkered skirt to the long sleeved polo (short sleeves for grade school and high school students), cufflinks and neckties exclusively used by Paulinians; and the required simple black shoes with a maximum heel height of 2-3 inches, SPUQC trains their students to be well-balanced, sleek and professional to be the best that they can be in the future.
