Q. I just moved here. How may I find out which high school is ours?
A. Students are assigned to high schools based upon the home address. If you are not sure which high school is your home school you may call (714) 903-7000 Ext. 4110 to verify school boundaries.

Q. How do I enroll my student in high school?
A. Call your home high school and set up an appointment for registration. A new student packet of school information and parent signature cards may be picked up earlier at the switchboard so that you may have it completed when the appointment date arrives.

Q. Is there anything else I should bring to the registration appointment?
A. It is helpful but not required to bring your last report card, any test scores you may have.
