ENCINITAS – The San Dieguito Union High School District High School selection window for the 2021-2022 school year will open at 8 a.m. Feb. 11 and will close at 4 p.m. March 1.
Who should submit a high school selection during the window?

It is the intent of the Board of Trustees to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students of the district. In order to maintain an equitable balance in the enrollment at each campus, the Board of Trustees established attendance boundaries for each school in SDUHSD. Boundaries of school attendance areas in the district are as follows:
• La Costa Canyon High School shall include the boundaries of the Encinitas and Cardiff school districts and the area north of Escondido Creek in the Rancho Santa Fe district.
• San Dieguito High School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy shall be open to all district residents in grades 9 to 12 on an equal basis through an open enrollment application process approved by the board. To be eligible to attend SDHSA or CCA, a student must have selected the school during the established high school selection window process.
• Torrey Pines High School shall include the boundaries of the Del Mar, Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe School Districts, with the exception of the area north of Escondido Creek in the Rancho Santa Fe School District.
