If you would like to take PBL Academy courses and Jefferson is where you go to high school… simply sign up for as many PBL courses as you would like when you register! Ask your counselor for help. A list of our suggested course of study is in the tabs below.

If you would like to take PBL Academy courses and Jefferson is not your Home Attendance Center… please complete the District’s open enrollment form and select “Jefferson High - Project Based Learning Academy” on the School Requesting section of your application.  We will only review and allow students into the PBL Academy for the first 5 days of a semester.  After that students can still fill out the Open Enrollment application, you will be notified if your Open Enrollment application is approved for 2nd semester.
