Application
Students who are residents of Charles County apply in the eighth grade to the programs. If you are new to Charles County and did not have the opportunity to apply to North Point as an eighth grader, you may apply. However, most programs have very long waiting lists and the chances of an opening occurring are unfortunately remote. If you still wish to apply to be placed at the end of the wait list, you may pick up an application at North Point's main office during school hours (7:40 AM to 3:30 PM). Mrs. Higdon will process your application and contact you for an interview if an opening occurs.
