High School Selection

Thank you for your interest in Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) and San Dieguito HS Academy (SDHSA)

High School Selection is now closed for the 2023-34 school year. Enrollment and capacity have been evaluated to determine if there is space to enroll additional students at CCA and SDHSA.

SDHSA (SDA) has no capacity for additional students at this time and will remain closed for the 2023-24 school year.

We are forming an interest list for eligible students residing in our district who wish to attend Canyon Crest Academy for the 2023-24 school year. Should space become available, students will be chosen from the interest list. If there are more students who want to enroll than available space can accommodate, a random lottery will be held to determine which students will be offered enrollment. Updates will be posted to this webpage on the 15th and 30th of each month.

Please use the link below to add your information to the interest list. In the meantime, please be sure that you have enrolled in your boundary high school, La Costa Canyon or Torrey Pines HS, and have scheduled classes, as this will expedite transfers if enrollment opens at an academy school.

The next opportunity to select enrollment at SDHSA will be in early 2024, when the High School Selection process for the 2024-25 school year opens. Please check this site in fall 2023 for updated information and key dates for the 2024-25 High School Selection process.

THE HIGH SCHOOL SELECTION WINDOW IS NOW CLOSED

The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) High School Selection process ended on February 17, 2023, at 4:00 p.m. The District has reviewed the submissions and, at this time, SDUHSD will not be conducting a public lottery for the 2023-2024 school year. All eligible students who participated in the SDUHSD High School Selection process by the deadline will be offered enrollment in their selected high school for 2023-24. LCC, SDA, CCA and TPHS will send out welcoming communication with enrollment information directly to families of all eligible students who participated in the selection process no later than Monday, February 27, 2023. The Incoming Student Enrollment Deadline is Monday, March 20, 2023 at 4:00 pm and students who selected an academy must enroll by this deadline or will forfeit their spot at the academy and be enrolled in their boundary school.

Academy enrollment is closed after the high school selection process. Students who did not participate during the high school selection window or who are new to the District will be enrolled at their residential boundary high school for 2023-2024.
