MCHS Enrollment

Application Process and Selective Lottery

Middle College High School is an application-based school. While we value your student’s interest, please understand that admission is not certain. We recommend families have a secondary educational plan in place and not rely solely on MCHS as the primary option.
 
Please note that MCHS is not a charter, private, or credit recovery school and students do not graduate early. Admission to MCHS is based on individual merit. We do not prioritize siblings, family, or District employees.
