Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ

A reminder to eighth-grade students and their families: Applications for the Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ academy lottery are due on Thursday.

.

The lottery is open to all incoming freshmen and new students, as well as to current Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ High students wishing to change academies for next school year. Students need to submit a lottery application to increase their chances of entering the academy of their choice.

Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ High has four academies, each with its own theme: Citizenship, Discovery, Innovation and Leadership. These physically smaller learning environments are designed to help students feel connected, involved and engaged. Students are assigned to each academy through a lottery they are encouraged to enter.

Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ High held a virtual information night about the lottery last week.

The lottery will be held on Dec. 10.
