An INTRADISTRICT transfer is when parents/guardians wish to register/admit/enroll their student(s) at a school within HBUHSD other than their designated "home" school.                                      

OPEN ENROLLMENT refers to the window in which the District allows your student the opportunity to register/admit/enroll to their school of choice within the HBUHSD. All students residing within the Huntington Beach Union High School District may apply for enrollment in any District school during the open enrollment period. You do not need to apply if you wish for your student to attend their school of residence/home school.

The District Office sponsored Open Enrollment Transfer Window is now closed for the 2025-2026 school year.

• There is no need to reapply if your child is currently on an open enrollment transfer; a new application is only required if you wish to change schools.
