Vision

All magnet programs promote academic rigor and reflect the diversity of the district.

Mission

High school magnet programs provide unique personalized learning communities. These programs of study are aimed at increasing student achievement and permit a student to focus on interest, talents or career goals. Middle and elementary magnet programs provide students the opportunity to participate in challenging experiences that engage them in learning.

Magnet Programs have been established at elementary, middle and high Schools to provide an opportunity for students to engage in intensive study in specific areas. Magnets offer the opportunity for students to discover their talents and explore their interests while focusing on strong academic excellence.

Programs are designated to attract students from across the district with transportation provided for elementary and middle school students only, who reside in specified areas. Please refer to the magnet schools list to see the listing of "schools served" for each of the magnets. If your child's zoned school is listed, your child will be eligible for transportation

Centralized Application Process

All magnet program applicants must submit applications to School Choice Services for processing. The process, documents and timeline for magnet applications for the 2007-2008 school year will be posted on this website in September.
