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 Step 2 above before their appointment at Central Registration.If you do not have access to the online registration, please arrive at least 20 minutes early for your scheduled appointment in order to complete the online portion using a computer at Central Registration. The more students you have to register, the longer the application will take to complete.

**Please note this cannot be completed using a cell phone or tablet**
