hs choice

The Vail School District believes in providing parents with a choice of the high school that their children attend. We have created six unique high schools from which you can choose. Through this process, you will have the opportunity to learn more about each of the high schools and choose the school that is the best fit for your child.

Parents will submit their HS choice rankings online through the High School Choice Portal in February. Submissions can be entered and changed multiple times while the portal is open. This process is not first come, first serve. All choices made while the online portal is open are treated equally.

You will need your parent PowerSchool username and password to access the portal. If you are experiencing sign-in issues, please contact your child's middle school for assistance.

All families will be notified of the results by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 7, 2025 via email.

Any family who lives in the VUSD boundaries but did not send their 8th grade student to a Vail school should reach out to Amy Castle, District Enrollment Concierge, to make their choices.

All out-of-district families who would like to apply for Open Enrollment can fill out an application here by January 31st.
