Re-Enrollment for the 2023-2024 School Year Opens on Wednesday, March 15th

Re-enrollment takes place in your SIS account. Instructions for re-enrolling may be found HERE. No payment is due at this time. Re-enrollment fees are due by July 15th.

Please note: While enrollment fees have not changed, all tuition levels have increased by $5/month for the 2023-2024 school year.

Re-enrolling is one of the four things you will need to complete to be eligible to register for classes in April. The other items are COS completed, 1st-semester grades entered, and your financial account current.

NEW THIS YEAR: On the re-enrollment form, you will be asked to update your church information. You will then be asked if you are willing to be listed in the HCS Church Directory. This is a document that will eventually be posted in the password-protected Members Only section of the website. If you find yourself not currently attending a church or needing to make a change, this document will give you some ideas of local churches to try and some HCS families you will find there.
