New student enrollment for current school year 2020/21

We offer choices to suit every kind of student: Traditional schools, Montessori schools, magnet schools with special programming, and Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways programs. Some of our high schools are aligned with area colleges and universities and share courses, providing students with college credits.

Parents of students with special needs who were previously enrolled in a separate setting /self-contained class should report to Special Education Services with their student’s current Individual Education Plan (IEP).
