The Out-of-District application period for the 2020-2021 school year is now open. For an application to be considered, student application and transcript should show, at a minimum, satisfactory behavior and attendance, as well as average or above-average achievement with no history of failing courses.
If a student is accepted into the Hall County School District, then he/she will be offered a seat at the requested school if there is available space at the requested school. Accepted out-of-district students pay tuition by June 1, 2020. (Note: Because of the current situation, tuition for out-of-district students is due on July 1, 2020, and we will accept it as late as August 3, 2020.)
