Additional information about Registration and Attendance Areas is available at each school site and the District office, as well as online: http://www.hjuhsd.k12.ca.us/enrollment.htm

Students may request a change in school to participate in the Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps program at Hanford West High School and a NJROTC request form will be included with the student registration materials. The deadline for NJROTC program transfers is March 30, 2012.

For more information about the 8th Grade Registration process or about your future school, students and parents can contact your high school principal or the Superintendent's Office office at 583-5901 ext. 3101 or by email at dstout@hjuhsd.k12.ca.us.
