Right Student, Right Program - Is the Catalyst right for you?

• Do you want to work on real projects while earning college and high school credit?

• Are you interested in developing professional skills that will enhance your leadership potential and marketability?

• Do you want to experience a professional work environment with other DSD students and business partners?

• Are you open to new possibilities?

• Do you have a strong sense of curiosity?

• Do you want to create solutions to real-life problems?

The Catalyst application is as simple as 1-2-3:

1. Ensure you have completed any require pre-requisites for your desired course(s) in your career interest pathway and are on track to graduate. See all current Catalyst courses in the main menu above.

2. Complete our simple online application (linked below) for new students, which opened on October 1st for Spring Semester (January 2025).

3. If we have more applicants than openings, we may conduct a weighted lottery and may ask you to have one of your teachers, a counselor, or administrator give you a recommendation. In that event we would send them a form to complete to supplement your application.

Students are STRONGLY encouraged to fill out their own application.
Students, if you have questions, call or e-mail one of the three admissions team members at the bottom of this page.
Make sure you are using a browser already connected to your Microsoft Office 365 to apply.

*Note:  Students filing out this application must be on a browser that is logged into their student Microsoft Office 365 account in order for the application form to launch correctly.
Also, current Catalyst students do not need to complete a new application, as they will receive an "Intent to Return" survey for their next semester.

Students will begin receiving email notifications with regards to their application status beginning in mid-March, so they can finalize their course schedules accordingly. Earlier applicants will be notified first. Applicants after May 1st are usually notified within 1-2 weeks, or almost immediately the week before school.
