ANY student can enroll. They must go through the online 4J School Choice Lottery, regardless of attendance area: School Choice The in-district deadline to apply is February 15, 2026.
IMPORTANT DATES for the 2026-2027 School Year:
January 15……Online application period for 4J School Choice Lottery opens for in-district students
February 15…..Deadline to submit in-district 4J School Choice Lottery Applications
Spanish and French Immersion students from Monroe and Roosevelt will be enrolled in Eugene IHS without the lottery process because they entered immersion through the lottery in elementary or middle school. However, immersion students do need to submit the Eugene IHS Enrollment Form to the Eugene IHS office at South or Sheldon by the January 31, 2026. This form will be included in a special mailing to immersion families over winter break.
