Occasionally, if there is a class that a student wants to take, that we don’t offer, students and parents may choose to look at their neighborhood school, as long as they take at least four classes (75%) from the Open High School of Utah.

The legislature passed a law that allows charter students to participate in extracurricular activities at their neighborhood school. 

If you are interested in having your student participate at your neighborhood school, contact that school”s guidance counselor.
