GOC & GCPS Logo
Registration for new families will be open through  February 28  on a first-come, first-served basis. For planning purposes, all existing full-time GOC students will be automatically re-enrolled for the 2019-2020 school year. 

Current families with students who will be new  to GOC will need to register their child during the open enrollment period which closes February 28. Current families are encouraged to register new students early 
in February to ensure space. 

If you know your student  will not  return to GOC next year, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can open the spot to a new family during full-time registration. Those students who will not return next year will need to come on campus to withdraw after grades are posted in May 2019.

Please contact the front office if you have any questions or concerns.
