2026-2027 Enrollment Update

The Open Enrollment window for 2026-2027 closed on March 22, 2026. Our lottery will be held on Thursday, March 26, at 1:00 PM at Sacramento Creek Ranch. Families who applied during the Open Enrollment Window will receive notification of their acceptance or waitlist status by email shortly after the lottery.

Still want to apply? We encourage it. HRCS is actively monitoring enrollment demand as part of our planning for a potential second campus in Park County or surrounding areas. Applications submitted now will be placed on the waitlist by date of application — and strong waitlist numbers are a direct factor in our decision to open a second site and additional enrollment window. Don’t wait to get your name in.

Re-Enrollment for Current HRCS Families

Each winter, families of currently enrolled students are invited to participate in Re-Enrollment, which helps HRCS plan for the upcoming school year. During the re-enrollment window, current families complete a brief survey indicating whether they intend to commit to a seat for the following school year.

Re-enrollment occurs before Open Enrollment lotteries and allows the school to determine how many seats remain available for new students. Families who do not complete the re-enrollment survey by the stated deadline may forfeit their priority status for the upcoming year.

Specific re-enrollment dates are listed in the Admissions Timeline below.

Enrollment Process from HRCS Enrollment Policy:

Students will be granted priority enrollment in the following order:

  1. Children of HRCS staff (not to exceed 20 percent of total enrollment)
  2. Children of HRCS Founding Team members (not to exceed 20 percent of total enrollment)
  3. All other applicants.

The process for priority enrollment will precede the lottery. If needed, a lottery will be used to determine the placement of students for any class for which the number of Pre-Registration forms exceeds capacity. Applicants not selected in the lottery will be placed on an order-drawn waitlist. Siblings of enrolled students for whom a seat is not available will be placed at the top of the waitlist, if applicable. Applications submitted after the enrollment period closes will be placed on the waiting list by the date of application.
