Specialized High School Admissions Process
There are a number of Public High Schools that require Auditions. These are mostly your "music,
theater and art" schools. St. Columba is required to send these schools a summary sheet in order to indicate if
we have any students that will include them on their Public High School Application. A form specifying your selection
for audition was given out at the Parent-Teacher meeting on Thursday, September 29th. If you did not get one, please
ask the 8th Grade teacher or principal. You may also click here to print a copy. This audition request form must be completed and returned to the 8th Grade teacher
by Monday, October 3rd.
Audition Programs
Audition
programs require that a student demonstrate proficiency in the specific area for that program. For example, if a student
auditions for a drama program, he/she may have to prepare a monologue as part of the audition. The audition requirements are
listed with the program on each school’s directory page.
Test
Programs
Students are required to take
the Specialized High Schools Admission Test (SHSAT) for entrance to one of the Specialized
High Schools. Student acceptance is based on test results, student’s priority order of the schools and seat availability.
