The kickoff for this year’s Middle & High School Choice process, starts with the Annual School Choice Fair that is scheduled to be held at the Baltimore Convention Center on December 12, 2026.
Using the Student Enrollment Management System (SEMS), 8th grade families will be able to complete and submit their Choice applications between December 1, 2026 and January 15, 2027.
Students who are Multilingual Learners (ML) can participate fully in the choice process.
Some schools that participate in middle or high school choice are ML sites; however, services are adjusted as necessary to ensure that all English learners can fully participate in the choice process.
For more information, contact your school counselor or choice liaison. District staff in the Multilingual Enrollment and Support Center (MESC@bcps.k12.md.us) can provide additional support to families.
