Families Residing Outside of South Haven (Schools of Choice)

Unfortunately, enrollment is now CLOSED for the 2019-20 School Year! 

Thank you for choosing South Haven Public Schools for your child! We are a schools of choice district, meaning we welcome non-resident students under Section 105 and 105c (Schools of Choice) during our open enrollment windows. Annually, our school of choice open window will open once in the summer and once towards the start of the calendar year.

During open enrollment, we will publish the traditional school year grades that we are accepting. Depending on current enrollment, school of choice acceptance may be limited in number by grade level or at a particular building. 

The district publishes open enrollment periods on the district webpage (www.shps.org), in the South Haven Tribune, and the Flashes. Notification may also be given via radio on COSY-FM 103.7.

Schools of Choice applications must be  submitted to our Enrollment Specialist, Jessica Hodge, at the Administration Building (554 Green Street).

Once admitted through our Schools of Choice Program, you will also be directed to fill out an enrollment packet.
