High School Magnet Applications
That deadline for applying to HISD High School Magnet Programs is quickly approaching for our 8th graders!  Not sure which schools your child will qualify for?  We can help with that!

HISD Office of School Choice now offers the Magnet Matrix Calculator!  Use the calculator to get a list of all schools in which your child meets the matrix score to qualify for the lottery.  
Need assistance with the application process?  Contact Ms. Vasquez in our House C office for assistance. Spanish assistance available.


Requesting Records
Do you need a copy of your child's records to submit with private or charter school applications? Contact Ms. Hoyos in the school office for the form to request records.  Plan ahead, as it often takes a full week to receive copies this time of the year. The school office will supply one set of records that you can copy to include with the various applications you are submitting.


Teacher Recommendations
If you are applying to a private or charter school that requires a teacher/administrator recommendation, please submit those as soon as possible.  We may not be able to complete recommendations submitted within one week of the deadline.
