New Student Enrollment

For the safety and security of our students and to minimize distractions, we don't offer student shadowing. School tours may be scheduled through our Principal's office by contacting Ashlee Jensen at 435-645-5650. Availability is very limited, so please limit tour requests to prospective new enrollments of high school age only.

Our School Profile and the PCHS and District websites are full of information about our academics, course offerings, graduation requirements, extracurricular activities, counseling department, student handbook, policies, and more. On, or just prior to, their first day of school, new students will be paired with a Hope Squad student who will provide a school tour and answer questions.

Please Note: Open enrollment applications for Ecker Hill Middle School (EHMS) and Park City High School (PCHS) are currently closed. Applications submitted for these schools will not be accepted.

If you are not a Park City School District resident (boundary map), you may apply for an out of boundary exemption through the Open Enrollment process. You must be approved by the District Office before you can enroll your student at the school. Refer to the Open Enrollment page of the District website for information or call the District Office at 435-645-5600.

Students are enrolled at Park City High School based on their age and corresponding grade level. Persons cannot enroll at Park City High School if:

1. They have already completed secondary school and earned a diploma or completion certificate, regardless of the country or grade/age level when completed.
2. They or their cohort class have already completed 12th grade.
3. They turn 18 years old on or before September 1, unless they have just completed 11th grade and are on track to promote to 12th grade as a result of being held back a grade level in elementary school or as determined by an IEP (each case will be reviewed by school Administration).

For continuing education, Adult High School, GED, and Adult English Language Learning options, contact the district's Adult Education office at 435-615-0209.  

Per district policy, the parent of a student enrolled in a charter school (Winter Sports School, for example) may withdraw the student from the charter school for enrollment in the student’s school of residence for the following school year if an application of admission is submitted to the school district of residence by June 30. If the application is submitted after June 30 or during our school year, the student may enroll in a school of the school district of residence that has adequate capacity in their grade level (elementary) or core classes (secondary). Proof of withdrawal from the charter school will be required.

NOTE: Students cannot be enrolled in two state-funded public or charter schools at the same time, or for the same school year. Students cannot claim more than 100% school membership in a school year. For example, a student who completes their 9th grade year at Winter Sports School (April through November), even though their calendar differs from ours, cannot enroll at PCHS during WSS's winter break because the student has already completed their school year and WSS has already received 100% of that student's state funding. 

Dual/Split enrollment for one or two classes may be a possibility if (1) the student removes the same number of classes from their charter school schedule (cannot be more than 100% membership between the two schools--we would share or "split" the state funding), (2) the classes the student wants to take are not offered at the charter school or through the Statewide Online Education Program, and (3) there is room in the requested classes. An application for dual/split enrollment will be required and must be approved by the school principal.

If your student was receiving special education services via an IEP, or accommodations per a 504, providing us with a copy of those plans at the time of enrollment will greatly speed up the process for receiving those services at PCHS. Call your previous school to get a copy for yourself and forward it to us, or have the school email it directly to jfrink@pcschools.us or fax it to 435-645-5658. We will request official school records from your previous school, but not until AFTER your student is enrolled.

For more information, please see the district's Special Education Services page and the district's Section 504 page.

Questions about sports participation and eligibility can be addressed to PCHS Athletics & Activities Director, Mr. Jamie Sheetz.

Per the Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA) Transfer Rule, any student transferring from one high school to another may lose eligibility for participation in Association-sponsored athletic activities, at the varsity level, for twelve months from the first day of attendance at the new school. However, the Association has the discretion to waive all or part of the ineligibility based on bona fide change in residence or evidence of hardship.

If you need to move during the school year, our best advice is to complete the grading term at your current school and earn those credits first. Then transfer to PCHS as close to our grading term start dates as possible. Our term dates can be found on the district Calendar. Rest assured, our counselors are here to help you through the school transition regardless of when you transfer.

The Park City School District accepts a limited number of J-1 visa foreign exchange students at the high school level each year. Official agency applications must be submitted to the District Office by April 30th for consideration for the upcoming school year. An eligible student is in grades 9-12, has not yet graduated from high school in their home country, is not a citizen of the United States, and intends to return to their home country after their approved enrollment period ends. Visa students cannot earn a Park City High School Diploma or participate in graduation activities. The District may choose to suspend or change our foreign exchange program at any time.  

Contact Dena Housel at the District Office (435-645-5600) for foreign exchange student information.

Not a J-1 visa exchange student?  To be enrolled, students must be full-time Utah residents and must be living with a parent or a guardian with Power of Attorney within the school district's boundaries. Proof of residency and guardianship documentation will be required at the time of enrollment. We don't offer student shadowing or student visitors.
