HIGH SCHOOL INFORMATION

Great news for high school students!

Interested in attending Gene Juarez Academy? Well, if you’re a high school senior you’re in luck! This is when the application process typically starts. We recommend you schedule a Job Shadow appointment where you’ll have the opportunity to visit with currently enrolled students and get a sneak peak at what we’re all about.

Think we might be the right school for you? Schedule a tour and planning session with an Admissions Advisor at the campus you want to go to. Bring your parents too ‘cause you’ll be getting stuff like detailed information about our program and financial aid. You’ll also get an in-depth tour of the campus.

Even if you’re not going to be a senior for another year or two, stay in touch with us! Visit our website, check out our booth at your school’s Career & College Fairs, get to know our Career Specialist, and don’t be shy about becoming a regular for hair services with our student artists.

The strength building skills are phenomenal, you grow as a person as well as a stylist. I enrolled right out of high school & feel that my education at GJA really made me into the professional person that I am today.

— Allyssa Hoskins-Cook, Graduate, North Campus
