Rising Freshmen

Private School Pre-Enrollment
​updated 5/4/20

Private school pre enrollment has ended. For anyone who missed the deadline of 4/30, we will have summer enrollment dates TBD. Please check back here in June for more information. Please note, we do not build schedules until mid July, so you are not missing out by waiting until June.

Once we do open back up enrollments, you will need:
❖ A complete enrollment packet (this includes proof of residency(lease agreement, mortgage statement), copy of birth certificate, copy of immunizations)
  • The safe schools document must be notarized, so do not sign it yet. You can get it notarized on your own, or our registrar can do it for you.
  • If your child has never been in a public school in North Carolina, you must also submit a Health Assessment. This should be submitted prior to school beginning in August.
❖ Copy of 7th & 8th grade grades to date

Public Middle School Students
Those coming from a public school within the New Hanover County school system will register for high school courses at their middle school with the help of their middle school counselor. Please contact your middle school counselor for details as all schools handle this process differently.
The courses your student selects will automatically transfer over to us.
**For those public school students who may be accepted into Hoggard through open choice: Your middle school will send us a paper copy of the courses you wish to take at Hoggard if you are accepted here on open choice. There is no need to meet to get this sorted out. It will be done automatically.

We cannot accommodate individual meeting requests with potential students/parents at this time as we are serving our current students.
Please plan to attend the Rising 9th grade parent night on February 19th. During this night, you will have the opportunity to take a tour, listen to a presentation from our counselors, and ask any questions you may have.
