Gently-used uniforms - The Hang-Up

The Hang-Up is Holton's gently-used uniform boutique. The Hang-Up is brought to you by the Holton-Arms Alumnae Association, whose mission and focus is to provide continued value to the Holton experience. Students and families may purchase uniform jumpers, skirts, polos, turtlenecks, gym uniforms, sweatshirts, fleeces, and sweaters at a significant discount. 

Students may visit the Advancement Center during the school day. The Hang-Up will continue to be open Monday-Friday for students. 

Parents should email the Administrative Assistant, Joleen Hyde, to schedule an appointment.

In the event that Joleen Hyde is not available for check-out, please fill out the Hang-Up form at the front desk of the Advancement Center. All purchases will be charged to your student’s accounts. Please contact Joleen Hyde if you have any questions.
