New Hope High School uses an application and interview process to enroll upper-level Leander ISD students. When necessary, we select from a waiting list of eligible applicants. Any Leander ISD Junior or Senior who meets the criteria below and wishes to apply to NHHS should begin the process as soon as possible 

• Are you currently attending one of Leander ISD's traditional high schools in your third year of high school or beyond? (If applying during the summer, have you completed at least three years of high school, and were you enrolled in Leander ISD at the end of last school year?)

• Have you been awarded at least 13 state credits toward graduation?

• Are you at least 16 years old and willing to be accountable for your excellent attendance, academic progress, and conduct?

• Have you demonstrated reading and math skills at a 9th grade level or higher, and are you capable of guided independent study in the general education curriculum?

• Do you have an academic need and/or life circumstance for which you think an alternative, self-paced learning environment might better serve you?

• Are you committed to earning your high school diploma?

If you meet these criteria and believe New Hope is the right fit, you or your parents can reach out to your home campus guidance counselor to begin the application process.
