Serenity High is open to students of all genders, race and faiths. The student body is composed of young men and women in grades 9 through 12. Each student is counseled by the staff to oversee the academic, personal and social development of the individual student. Further, staff members assist in the character growth of the student by serving as life-skills mentors.

Prospective Students
Admissions are ongoing throughout the school year for candidates that have successfully completed a treatment program at a recognized chemical substance abuse facility. To ensure that students will benefit from the program, students are admitted on the basis of demonstrated promise of future development, and a personal interview with Principal Juli Ferraro. Interviews can be scheduled by calling the school office at (469) 742-7830.

Please be prepared to bring ALL current transcripts, health records, discharge plans, and proof of residency to the interview to aid in the placement process. Enrollment may be delayed if records are not presented.
