Principal Discretion is a process that allows the principals of the 11 Selective Enrollment High Schools to fill a limited number of seats outside of the regular application process.
To apply for a school through Principal Discretion, students must have included the school on their GoCPs application. Students can apply to only one school through Principal Discretion.
To apply, students must submit a Principal Discretion application. They can also submit a personal statement, letters of recommendation, and copies of honors and awards.
The Principal Discretion process takes place in spring 2022.
The Principal Discretion application process will open on Monday, March 21,2022 and will close on April 1, 2022 at 5:00pm.
Students can accept a first-round offer from one school and still apply to another school for Principal Discretion.
Principal Discretion results will be released the week of June (TBD).
