2026-27 LATE Applications close September 3rd.

 

Once your application has been confirmed and accepted, new students to the Cimarron Avenue STEAM Magnet Center must complete an enrollment packet.  Our campus houses two schools, so you must complete the enrollment packet specifically for the STEAM Magnet program.
