Student Enrollment (Kindergarten - Grade 12)

All new students (Kindergarten through 12th grade) and those transferring within our district will need to visit our Central Registration office to enroll your child in school. Our goal in having one location for student enrollment is to improve customer service by expediting the process, ensuring consistency across all 38 schools, and making it more convenient for those with children in more than one school. It is a requirement that the parent go to Central Registration in order to complete the registration process, even if you have completed the online application.

Parents of new or returning students to Houston County Schools will need to complete the online application by clicking on the cloud link above before the scheduled appointment at Central Registration.You will be able to upload your documents into the online application as well.

If you do not have access to the online registration, please arrive for your appointment at least 20 minutes early so you can use our computers to complete the application. The more students you have to register, the longer the application will take to complete. Please note if you have not done your online application and it is more than 15 minutes after your scheduled appointment time when you finish, you will need to reschedule for another time or be processed as a walk in with a longer wait time.
