HSE Schools opens second year of non-resident transfer student enrollment

Submitted by HSE Schools

Hamilton Southeastern Schools (HSE) has opened its second year of non-resident transfer enrollment. The initiative reflects the district’s continued commitment to high-quality learning experiences while maintaining financial stability and maximizing the use of district facilities and programs.

Families residing outside district boundaries may apply for available seats across the district.

Enrollment studies and demographic projections indicate that the district is no longer experiencing the rapid growth seen in previous decades. As a result, the district has approximately 900 seats available across grades K-12.

Applications submitted by April 17, 2026, will receive priority consideration. Rolling admissions will continue after that date until the third Friday in January, or until capacity is reached at individual schools or grade levels.

By offering non-resident transfer opportunities, HSE can:

• Strengthen financial sustainability
• Continue attracting and retaining high-quality staff
• Expand high-demand programs, including STEM and Career and Technical Education
• Maximize the use of existing facilities and resources

Key information for families

• Transfer students will only be placed in schools and grade levels with available capacity.
• Enrollment will close at individual schools once capacity is reached.
• Families of out-of-district students are responsible for transportation.
• Transfer students must reapply annually to maintain eligibility.
