Before you begin:

• The online application is only available to current HCPS eighth grade students.

• All parents or guardians must complete an online Parent Authorization and Waiver Form, accessible through the PowerSchool Parent Portal starting Sept. 25. The deadline to submit this form is Nov. 16 at 4 p.m. Please select the “Specialty Center” star on the left to access the parent authorization form.

• Once the permission form has been submitted, eighth-grade students will have access to the online application during the application window. The application will not be available to students until 24 hours after the parent permission form has been submitted. Please note that applications will not be open for access until Oct. 2.
