Calling All 8th Graders! It’s Time To Choose a High School for Next Fall!

Apply Now! High School Enrollment Is Open for Fall 2024

Eighth-grade students and parents are encouraged to choose an MPS high school for the 2024-25 school year and apply during the high school enrollment period, NOW through Sunday, October 31, 2023.

 

Grade 8 students currently enrolled at a school that serves students in grades 9-12, such as MacDowell Montessori, must complete an application and put their current school as their first choice if they want to continue at the school going into grade 9. Applicants already enrolled at these schools for grade 8 do not compete with other applicants for a spot in grade 9.

Steps to apply:

  1. Complete the high school admission application: https://mpsmke.com/hsapp
  2. Complete the on-demand writing activity. MacDowell Grade 8 students will complete the on-demand writing activity at school October 24, 2023 and October 25, 2023.
  3. For students who attended 7th grade in MPS: Documents needed for the application (attendance, report card, standardized test scores) will be pulled by district staff. Families do not need to upload. 
  4. For students who did NOT attend 7th grade in MPS: Families will need to submit attendance, report card, and standardized test scores when filling out the admission application.

Note: If a student does not apply during this enrollment period, their seat is not guaranteed.
