Enrollment Process

As an 8th grader, the enrollment process is your first step to becoming a Panther!

Shadow Days

Shadow days are an exciting and important step in choosing a high school. During shadow day visits, interested students are matched up with a student in the school. You will follow your sponsor’s class schedule, have lunch and meet the teachers as well as the rest of the student body. Click here for a shadow day form and more information.

Personal Tours

Personal tours are available for families (parents and students) who are interested in seeing the school. The tours allow families to get answers to some of their questions, see the classes in session and truly see the happenings of the daily life of our students. For more information please call the Main Office.

Open Houses

Open Houses occur when classes are not in session. Guided tours by the National Honor Students and the Admissions Department are given, along with an opportunity to meet teachers. Opportunities to academics, extra-curricular activities, athletics, campus ministry, and other offerings are discovered at our Open Houses.
