Los Altos High School

INCOMING FRESHMEN FROM BLACH, EGAN, CRITTENDEN, AND GRAHAM

Current 8th-grade students attending our feeder schools (Blach, Egan, Crittenden, and Graham) are pre-enrolled in the Mountain View Los Altos High School District. High school assignment letters will be mailed before the end of November 2023, to all pre-enrolled families with addresses that belong in the MVLA district boundaries. 

 

If you have enrolled in middle school after October 2023, you must register through our Online Registration System. Registration for the 2024-25 school year will open January 8, 2024.

 

OPEN ENROLLMENT: Students who seek an intra-district transfer to the school other than their neighborhood school must do so by submitting the Open Enrollment Transfer form. Transfer requests are reviewed on a case by case basis and very few slots are available as both schools are close to capacity. Applications will be accepted Dec 1-21, 2023. Please note that your student remains enrolled in the high school to which he/she has been assigned UNTIL you receive confirmation that your transfer request has been granted.
