The Process

In addition, you will receive an email from GGA with details pertaining to your New Student Registration (NSR) process.

MSDC post lottery applications are currently being accepted. To submit an application, follow the steps listed below.
  1. Submit an application via myschooldc.org.
  2. Select up to 12 schools on one application.
  3. Rank schools in order according to your true liking.
Returning families do not have to submit an application through the MSDC lottery. However, you must complete your re-enrollment on or prior to the May 26, 2023 deadline.
