High School Application Updates
Students who were hoping to attend this academic year (25-26) need to apply by Friday, November 14th, at the absolute latest. At that time, we will take the 25-26 application offline to prepare for the launch of the 26-27 application.
Additionally, those who needed to be considered for Project HOPE for January 2026, should adhere to the same timeline.
Please process the applications in your inboxes as quickly as possible. The sooner they can make it to the FT Advisors inbox, the sooner the student can be interviewed and considered for a January start, if capacity allows. Do not hesitate to reach out to your FT Career Advisor to ask when they plan to come interview your students!
We must process ALL 25-26 apps and clear them from the workflow before the 26-27 application can launch, therefore please have these apps processed or canceled by the following Friday, November 21st.
Please remove all "apply today" posters and notecards from last enrollment season from your buildings. We will deliver new ones in December for the 26-27 application.
We plan for the 26-27 application to be linked and ready on the FT Website at the middle of December. Those students who wish to attend the 26-27 school year should wait to apply until December/January.
Please take down these postcards and posters:
Academy Parent Night
Non-Traditional Events
Boys in Health Night
On October 9th, we hosted our third-annual Boys in Health Night, welcoming male elementary students from our partner schools to explore careers in the health sciences. The event aimed to raise awareness about opportunities in fields such as Pre-Nursing, Respiratory Care, and Practical Nursing (areas where male representation remains low at Francis Tuttle).
While the students learned about exciting career paths in healthcare, their adult guests also received valuable information about the programs and training opportunities available at Francis Tuttle. It was a fun and engaging evening, and we’re excited to continue this tradition each fall. Looking ahead, we’re preparing for our Girls in STEM Night, scheduled for the spring. Keep an eye out for more details in the coming months. We’ll need your help promoting it within your elementary schools!
College & Career Fair
On October 8, Francis Tuttle hosted its annual College and Career Fair at the Rockwell Campus, and it was a tremendous success! The event saw enthusiastic participation from both students and our valued partners, creating meaningful connections and sparking future possibilities for our students.
Each year, this event continues to grow in impact, helping students envision the many paths available to them. A special shoutout to Jeremy Corley for his outstanding coordination and leadership in organizing such a large and successful event!
