2. How is Middle College High School different from the other high schools in SAUSD?
MCHS is a small, rigorous, comprehensive "early college" high school located on the Santa Ana College campus. Students are enrolled concurrently in high school and college courses with the goal of completing college coursework, while earning the high school diploma. MCHS students do not have access to high school athletic programs at the college.
3. How may I participate in the enrollment process?
District intermediate records are evaluated and students who qualify for our program will receive an invitation to attend a mandatory information meeting in January. Upon attending, the student/parent will receive an application and must call to schedule an interview within the timeline specified. The student and parent must participate in an interview with a representative from MCHS. The student's application and answers are scored using a rubric designed for our school. After all student applicants are interviewed, the MCHS application committee will review the applications to select our 2010 freshman class.
4. What if I believe that my child qualifies for MCHS, but did not receive an invitation to the meeting?
All efforts are made to identify and invite all qualified students to the informational meeting. If you do not receive a letter of invitation, but believe that your child meets the admission guidelines, please bring your child's 7th grade transcript to the MCHS office prior to January 27th for review by the principal to determine eligibility.
