Process Overview
Potential patrons applying for admission will receive a packet containing the constitution, student handbook, and all application forms. New patrons will also be required to have an interview with the administrator and/or board member before being accepted. The administrator or board member will then give a recommendation to the school board for approval. All new patrons are expected to attend the new patron orientation meeting held prior to the start of each school year.
