Admissions

Registration Day at the Wil Lou Gray Opportunity SchoolProspective students must go through our admissions process and be accepted to attend our school.Once the Admissions Department has received a complete application with the necessary records, an appointment will be scheduled for an orientation and interview. Prospective students along with their Parents/Legal Guardians are required to attend. The orientation gives prospective students and their guardians the opportunity to learn more about our program; while the interview gives us a chance to meet the prospective student along with their guardian to help determine if we are a proper placement. All applicants will be notified by mail within 2 weeks after the interview whether they are accepted into the program.

Wil Lou Gray students take honors at a JROTC competition.

ADMISSIONS PROCESS

  1. Discuss the program with your student after you receive your application to ensure they are open to attending and participating in a military-style program.

  2. Complete the entire application, including those records that specifically apply to your student. Interviews will not be scheduled unless all paperwork is received. See our downloadable checklist for the complete list of required documents.

  3. Complete the application online, or mail or fax the application to the admissions office. Records sent by someone other than you may be mailed or faxed separate from the application. We will contact you to request any missing items.

  4. Once we receive the completed application, with applicable records, we will call to schedule an on-site orientation and interview. See our campus map for information on locating the correct building. (Link to driving directions tab)

  5. ORIENTATION: Please arrive on time with your student. The orientation will be presented to a group of students and parents, and the interview will be one-on-one. Interviews are conducted on a first-come, first-served basis according to the time you arrive on campus and sign in, so please be here on time.
    The on-site orientation and interview will provide you the opportunity to determine if the program is the right match for your student. In turn, it gives the admissions committee the chance to meet with you and your student to gain the information needed to make a prompt decision on placement.

  6. Since the Wil Lou Gray Opportunity School has three trimesters throughout the academic year, our admissions process is ongoing.  Students may apply at any time throughout the year, and if accepted they will attend beginning at the first available trimester.

  7. The members of the interview board will review each candidate and mail their decision within a few weeks. If your student is accepted you will receive a packet of information concerning registration and important dates.
    EVEN IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT THE PROGRAM, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTINUE GATHERING THE NECESSARY INFORMATION TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION. THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS IS FREE!
