How to Enroll in a New School

The Department of Education has announced the names and locations of new schools that will open for the first time in September 2008. Students interested in enrolling in one of these brand new schools are encouraged to attend a new school fair. Attending one of these fairs and visiting a school’s booth, or attending an open house held by a brand new school, will grant the student priority admissions to schools that open for the first time in September 2008. 

Students interested in enrolling in an existing new high school can apply by listing the name of the new high school on the regular high school application. Click here  to find out more about applying to high school, including new schools.  

If you have questions about new schools or the high school admissions process, please contact your District Family Advocate  or the 8 th guidance counselor at your school.
