Select Schools

Select Schools Programs offer coursework associated with a variety of pathways leading to both careers and opportunities for higher education, such as aerospace and aviation, information technologies, performing and fine arts, communications, law preparatory, health services, travel and tourism and engineering. Students from across the District may apply to a Select School regardless of the region in which they reside.

The purpose of the Select Schools is to improve student achievement, promote diversity and create an awareness of career opportunities relative to the fields of study in which students may be interested.

At the elementary level, there are no specific requirements to attend a Select School. Parents of interested students must submit applications postmarked or hand delivered to the Select Schools to which they are applying by the annually specified deadline.

At the secondary level, entrance criteria have been established for admission to most of the Select programs. Students interested in applying to a Select School should talk with their counselors or contact the specific Select School staff to determine if there are entrance criteria for the program(s) of interest. In addition to meeting the entrance criteria for the specific program, students must submit an application on or before the application deadline.

For both elementary and secondary applications, if there are more applications than there are seats available, a computerized random lottery will be utilized for student selections.http://www.nevadahosa.org/pdf/newsletter/08-09/Select%20Schools.05.09.pdf
