High School Application Process

Overview

All Unison 8th graders receive specialized support in applying to high schools from their Advisors. The Advisory class includes lessons on how to read the High School Directory, how to set up a MySchools account, and how to make wise decisions about high schools of interest. Advisors work closely with families and students to ensure that this process goes smoothly.

Timeline

  • Spring of 7th Grade | Students visit high schools to begin to think about high school choices. 

  • Fall of 8th Grade | Advisors begin lessons on the High School Application process during Advisory.

  • September to October | Students can register for the Specialized High School Test (SHSAT) in MySchools. Principal Emily Paige works with Advisors to ensure all students who are interested in registering are able to register.

  • Typically, high school applications are due by early December.
