Children who are Massachusetts residents are eligible to attend HVM. Haverhill residents receive enrollment priority over students from other Massachusetts cities and towns.  Further, siblings of children currently attending HVM are given enrollment preference if they have participated in the school’s public lottery and a position is available. 

The public enrollment lottery is held at least annually and determines each child's enrollment or wait list status.  A public, non-partisan member of the Haverhill community, such as a minister or local politician, presides over the lottery to draw the names. If space is available, students will be enrolled based on the order in which they are selected in the lottery.

Students remain on a waitlist until a position becomes available.  If a student does not accept a position when offered, that student must participate in the next lottery to again be considered for enrollment. 

~ Important Notice ~

Enrollment materials are distributed to a parent or legal guardian at an Enrollment Information Session held prior to the lottery. 

The next lottery will be held March 10, 2010 and will be preceded by Enrollment Information Sessions in January and February:

Thursday, February 4, 2010 at 9:00 am

If you were unable to make one of the lottery sessions held in January or February, please contact HVM.

 

All lotteries accept enrollment materials for students in grades K-8.  For Kindergarten applicants, the child must be age five by August 31st of the year for which he/she is applying for Kindergarten.
