Each year San Juan College High School enrolls 90 incoming freshmen to our school through a student application process.  Any current 8th grade student interested in joining our next cohort should consider applying.

The student selection process will be multifaceted and based on the belief that all students represent the future of our community and nation. ECHS systems provide students who are underrepresented opportunities in higher education, and the school’s demographics will reflect both the cultural and academic diversity of the region. Aztec and Bloomfield and Central Consolidated residents have 10 student placements each through the SJCHS lottery process. Farmington residents make up the remaining 60 student placements. Information sessions, public advertisements and announcements, along with middle school visits by the SJCHS staff and currently enrolled SJCHS students will precede the opening of the application process. A special effort will be made to promote the program in non-traditional settings to assure that traditionally underrepresented populations are informed and encouraged to apply for admission.

Who can attend?

Any San Juan County resident who will be entering the 9th grade the following school year.

How do I apply?

Students who are interested in attending SJCHS will need to apply during the open application period in their 8th grade year.  The application is open during the month of February. Students and parents will work together to complete the online application. Students need to identify one core teacher to provide recommendations for the student. Home school students will request the recommendation of one community member. 

Information sessions will be held in January to allow students and parents to learn more about SJCHS and provide an opportunity to have questions answered. After completing Discovery Meetings, SJCHS uses a confidential lottery process to select incoming students from San Juan County. Families will be notified through email of their admission decision.
