Parents who want their children to attend one of HISD’s magnet programs for the 2014-2015 academic year need to submit their applications before the holidays. The deadline to apply, either online or through the paper application, is December 20 for guaranteed consideration in the first round. Applications received after this date can only be considered at schools in which there is still space available.
“This year parents can even apply from the comfort of their homes using our newly adopted online application option,” HISD Assistant Superintendent of School Choice Dave Wheat said. “To date, more than 27,000 applications have been submitted using our new online option, and thousands more are in progress.”
