Enrolling in Central HS

As a public school system, the Central schools welcome all students who live within the boundaries of the Central Independent School District and meet state age and health requirements. Students moving into the district during the summer may call their school to register before the start of the school year. Students who move into the district during the school year should make an appointment to enroll. A student is required to attend school in the attendance zone in which the family resides.

The natural parent, legal guardian or other person having legal control under a court order must enroll a student. The person enrolling the student must present their driver's license or department of transportation identification card at the time of registration. A student 18 or more years of age living independently must present evidence of age and complete the necessary forms prior to enrolling at the school.

If a family has not yet moved into the school district but is building or purchasing a home within the district boundaries, proper documentation must be completed and the contract for purchase must be submitted to the office prior to enrolling.

Records necessary to enroll are:

• Birth Certificate or Passport
• Current Immunization Record Signed by a Physician
• Proof of Residency in Central ISD (natural gas or electricity bill, original lease agreement, or approved Certificate of Eligibility to Enroll form)
• Most Recent Report Card/Withdrawal Slip from Previous School
• Social Security Card (if available; if not, the student will be assigned a State ID number)
• High School Transcript (if applicable)
• Parent's Drivers License or Texas Department of Transportation ID card or Guardian Information Form and Guardian’s Drivers License or Texas Department of Transportation ID card (if parent or guardian is not a licensed driver in Texas nor has the person obtained a TXDOT ID card, other photo ID will be considered in combination with a birth certificate)
