Lottery Application Information

To attend Highland, students must be chosen through a random lottery that occurs each year in the spring. Being selected during the lottery places the student on a conditional acceptance and waitlist. The student must meet the criteria for their 8th grade year for final acceptance to attend Highland.

To apply for Highland School of Technology, please use the Gaston County School Choice Application, and select Highland. 

Application materials will be available through the GCS School Choice Webpage starting in mid-January.  

Non-Gaston County students must complete and return the Discipline Information Request to Highland School of Technology.
