Open Enrollment / Intra-District Transfer
All KHSD students must attend the high school
serving the student's regular area of attendance. (Click
here to see District boundary maps.) Any change to this policy
must be approved by district/site administrators. Changes to this
policy may be granted through either the Open Enrollment Program or the
Intra-District Transfer Policy.
Open Enrollment Program
Open Enrollment is a procedure to provide you and your student an opportunity to apply for admission to Centennial High School (or any other district school) outside of your attendance area. Applications are available at all school sites and the District Office beginning March 31, 2008 and must be received at the District Office by 3:00 p.m. on Friday May 2, 2008. Open enrollment deadlines for incoming 9th grade students have closed. Students entering grades 10 - 12 may still submit applications.
All students, including Special Education students, are eligible to apply for Open Enrollment (OE) transfers. Only regular comprehensive high school are available for OE if space is available at the site. If space is available, a random selection determines which students are accepted to a particular school. Students who apply but are not accepted are enrolled at the school serving their regular attendance area. OE transfers affect athletic eligibility for one year for the first transfer, and indefinite athletic ineligibility for a second transfer. Acceptance into another school site does not guarantee placement into a certain program. Parents/guardians must provide transportation for their students. Loss of transportation will NOT be considered a reason to rescind the Open Enrollment transfer. Once the transfer is approved, this transfer is binding and cannot be changed. A desire to return to the old school would require the student to participate in the Open Enrollment process again. Younger brothers/sister are not automatically granted an OE transfer. For further information, please contact the Kern High School District offices at 827-3157.
Intra-District Transfer Policy
Certain conditions may arise, either temporarily or permanently, which may prompt a need to change a student's school of attendance. These situations should be discussed with the school-site administrator in charge of Intra-District Transfers (IDTs). Please consider the following regarding IDTs:

Intra-District Transfer Policy
Certain conditions may arise, either temporarily or permanently, which may prompt a need to change a student's school of attendance. These situations should be discussed with the school-site administrator in charge of Intra-District Transfers (IDTs). Please consider the following regarding IDTs:
- IDTs are reviewed each grading period for good citizenship, regular attendance and a minimum of average grades. Transfers who are judged not acceptable will be revoked.
- IDTs which would worsen overcrowded classes will be denied.
- An IDT may not be granted to a student whose attendance, conduct or academic achievement does not satisfactorily meet the expectations of the requested school of attendance.
- IDTs based on curriculum (including academies) will carry a two-year period of athletic ineligibility.
- When specific or unusual circumstances necessitate a transfer, the District Director will determine the school of attendance who makes the final decision regarding all IDT requests.
- IDTs based on mutual agreement do not allow for younger siblings to follow and attend the same school and carry a one-year period of athletic ineligibility.
For more information, please consult the school-site administrator in charge of Intra-District Transfers at your school of residence. At Centennial High School, this is Mr. Fries.
