Current Students Online Registration

Registration will officially start on Wednesday, January 21 when students in grades 9, 10, and 11 will receive paper registration materials with Online Registration Opening on Friday, January 23 and closing on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.

The School Counselors will be visiting classrooms this January to ensure students have a clear understanding about student registration. It is important that parents know how to best partner with the school to support their student during the registration process. Thank you all in advance. I want to plant this seed now as things move fast – and bam! – registration will be here.
