Registration Timeline

Registration for MIHS Summer School will be open from April 20, 2026 at 8am through May 15, 2026 at 4pm.* Completing the registration form does not guarantee that a student receives a space in Summer School, nor is there preference given to those who register first. 

We will conduct a lottery for Health & PE courses on May 18, 2026, if we receive more registrations than the number of available spaces, using the enrollment priority outlined above. 

Families will be notified at 4pm on May 18, 2026, whether their student was selected for enrollment. 

Students who are eligible for enrollment (based on the lottery results) will have between May 19-25, 2026, to pay the online registration fee via InTouch. 

Beginning on May 26, 2026, we will remove students who have not paid from the enrollment list and take students from the waiting list. 

*Students who are enrolling in Credit Recovery courses may register for classes until June 12, 2026.
