New Student Enrollment

For the safety and security of our students and to minimize distractions, we don't offer shadowing or school tours. 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.

***The Park City School District Board of Education has closed all PCSD schools to new out-of-boundary students for the 2025-26 school year. No new out-of-district students will be accepted.***

If you are not a Park City School District resident (boundary map), you can apply for an out of boundary exemption through the Open Enrollment process. You must be approved before you can enroll your student. Refer to the School Open Enrollments 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.

If your student is now attending a local charter school (Winter Sports School or Weilenmann School of Discovery), and you would like to transfer them to your boundary Park City School District school, you must notify PCSD in writing no later than June 30 of your intention to enroll your student for the upcoming school year. Completing the New Student Enrollment process before June 30th meets this requirement. After June 30 and during the school year, enrollment is subject to the open enrollment process, space availability, and an official written release from the charter school (cannot be enrolled in both schools). For additional information, please contact the District Registrar at the District Office 435-645-5600.

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 quarter start dates as possible. We are on a quarter grading system, and 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.  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 native country, is not a citizen of the United States, and intends to return to their native country after the current school year or after their approved stay is granted.  Visa students cannot earn a Park City High School Diploma and cannot participate in graduation activities.  The District may choose to suspend the foreign exchange program for any given year.  

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 court-appointed legal guardian within the district boundaries. Proof of residency and guardianship documentation will be required. We don't offer student shadowing or student visitors.

Refer to the "Who to Contact" section below.  Contact the District Registrar if you have questions about the enrollment process, proof of residency, district boundaries, or required enrollment documents.  Contact the PCHS Registrar if you have questions about Park City High School, transferring credits, graduation requirements, course offerings, student records, etc.
