Counseling

Students must be at least 16 years old to enroll at Desert Winds HS.

To enroll your student, submit an application and bring a transcript from their current school, an unofficial transcript is okay at this step.

The paperwork will be processed and you will receive a phone call when your student is approved to transfer. An orientation appointment will then be scheduled.
