About High School Enrollment …

Check out Principal Egan’s High School Enrollment Overview

The High School Specialty Program Application period is now closed for the 2019/2020 school year.

• Students who live within the boundaries of a particular high school have automatic enrollment rights to the school’s GENERAL PROGRAM.
• Parents do not have to go through any particular process to enroll in their general neighborhood high school program.

• The “Common Application” started two years ago
• Replaces Open Enrollment for High School
• Now closed for the 2019/2020 school year
• Allows students to apply for “Specialty Programs”
• Does not allow students to apply for a school’s “General Program.”
• Application will generate email indicating next steps, if any, i.e. essay session, mock PSAT, portfolio to submit…

Open Enrollment is not a first-come, first-serve basis. Open Enrollment uses a computerized lottery system to place students at their school of choice. A lottery must be implemented if applications exceed the grade capacity at the requested school. If your child isn’t selected during this step, he/she will be placed on a waiting list for his/her first choice.
