Applications open October 13th for students interested in attending an HCS magnet program for the 2027-2028 school year. If you have a student already enrolled at AAA but are interested in admission for a sibling, we encourage you to apply early!

Students already enrolled in HCS magnet programs do not need to reapply unless your child is an 8th grader with an interest in attending Lee High's arts magnet, New Century Technology High School, or the College Academy at Jemison High. Rising 9th graders will need to apply for admission to these programs and again, we encourage early application.

If you have questions about the application or admissions process, please reach out to magnet@hsv-k12.org.
