Magnet Information for 2012-2013

 

8th Grade Parents and Students:

The first round of the magnet application process begins on November 1, 2011 and ends at 12 noon on December 1, 2011. If your child is planning to apply at a magnet high school, (Carolina High, Greenville Senior High, J.L. Mann or Southside High) it is VERY IMPORTANT TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION IN ROUND 1.

 

2012-2013 applications will be available on November 1, 2011 at the magnet school's office, or applications can be downloaded at www.gcsmagnetacademies.org

 

Students will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

  • *Academics
  • *Attendance
  • *Discipline
  • Student Essay

 

*This information will be taken from the student's second semester in 7th grade. Parents of eighth graders should receive a letter from the school district concerning high school magnet opportunities. Contact the Magnet Coordinator at the High School for more information.

 

 

7th Grade Parents and Students

Please be aware that magnet applications for high school are based on grades, attendance, and discipline records from the second semester of the 7th grade school year. Although we expect students to always do their best, students who are thinking of applying at a magnet high school should be mindful that this is a very important year for their high school acceptance in the future.
