Notice of Nondiscriminatory Policy as to Students
Hampton Christian High School admits students of any race, color, and national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, grant and scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
Acceptance to Hampton Christian High School is a privilege, not a right. Students are accepted and re-admitted on a best-qualified basis. All applicants are considered on the basis of pastoral recommendation, Christian testimony, official transcript and recommendation of previous school, completion of the required registration procedures, results of entrance testing and a personal interview with the school administration. A student's previous academic progress, behavior and attitude are also considered in the acceptance process. Students who are under expulsion from a public or private school will not be accepted at Hampton Christian High School.
To be eligible for admission, parents or guardians must complete the application process, be in agreement with our statement of faith and make a commitment that their family will attend church regularly. The parents also agree to attend PTF meetings and support school activities, uphold it in prayer, support it with volunteer help, and give financially to the school when able.
As a condition of acceptance and continued attendance, a student must agree to abide by the standards and policies set by the school. As long as a student is enrolled at Hampton Christian, he represents the school both on and off campus. If the administration considers the lifestyle or testimony of a student, either on or off campus, to be detrimental to the reputation of Hampton Christian High School, he may forfeit the privilege of enrolling or remaining as a student. Each new student is automatically placed on a one-semester probation. After that time it will be determined whether the student is academically and spiritually suited for Hampton Christian High School. Upon completion of this probationary period, the student and family will be notified in writing of continued enrollment status.
The HCHS Principal will recommend acceptance or non-acceptance of a new student to the HCS Superintendent. The HCS Superintendent will make the final decision regarding new students' acceptance.
Each new applicant and at least one parent or guardian MUST be interviewed by either the superintendent, principal, assistant principal, or director of guidance.
The applicant must be a Christian and provide evidence that he/she exhibits a Christian lifestyle.
The applicant must be active in a local church and live with at least one parent or guardian who is a Christian and is also active in a local church.
The applicant must express a willingness to attend Hampton Christian High School and agree to abide by the standards and policies of the school.
Each applicant must take entrance tests and demonstrate an ability to function successfully in the grade assigned.
A copy of transcripts from previous schools including standardized test results, most recent report card, and all other school records need to be provided before the admission decision is finalized.
The parent or guardian must have all of the applicant’s official records forwarded from the school(s) previously attended.
A written recommendation from each applicant’s church pastor is required. This letter shall provide evidence that the student exhibits a Christian lifestyle and is a professing Christian, AND lives with at least one parent or guardian who is a Christian. This written recommendation is for all applicants.

Re-enrollment is not automatic. The status of all returning students will be reviewed yearly; and students will be readmitted on a best-qualified basis. That involves consideration of academic progress, disciplinary record, attitude, and spiritual growth. A personal interview or teacher recommendation will be required of former Hampton Christian Elementary School students. Each student entering Hampton Christian High School from Hampton Christian Elementary School will also be required to complete the student essay and turn in a Pastor Recommendation Form.
Re-enrollment will begin in mid-February. Qualified students presently enrolled are given exclusive opportunity through the first Monday in March to re-enroll for the next school year. Open enrollment begins after that date. Selection will be determined on a best-qualified basis.
A re-enrollment application must be completed and submitted to the school office, and all application fees must be paid before enrollment is considered. The Statement of Cooperation form located on the last page of the handbook, must also be signed and returned before the enrollment process is complete.
A student will not be readmitted if there are charges outstanding from the previous school year, unless financial arrangements for late payment have been made with the Business Office and approved in writing by the School Board.
