Student Services at Dr. E.P Scarlett is pleased to begin the Course Selection Process for the 2026-27 School year. Welcome, incoming Lancers! Please see the following information in preparation for this exciting transition period.

  • Student Services has been working with many of our feeder schools to support students with in-person visits. We visited many schools in November to focus on our school culture and extra-curricular opportunities and returned in January to discuss the course selection process.
  • The course selection process occurs online. Course selection is not first come first served, so please be assured that you have time to make thoughtful selections for options and core classes. The form will be open from January 26 – February 23.  Many important links are embedded within the document that will provide information on option classes and course sequencing.
