For students entering 9th grade beginning 2014-15 the new foundation curriculum plan with at least one endorsement will be required for admission consideration. Students are strongly recommended to complete one or more available endorsement(s) that include Algebra II or its equivalent as well as Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Students applying for top 10% automatic admission must complete the foundation curriculum with the distinguished level of achievement.
