New Student Registration
Welcome, Future Fairfax High School Lion!
Welcome to Fairfax High School!
We are a school in Fairfax County, Virginia.
New students fall into one of two registration categories:
- Students who are new to Fairfax High School and are not currently enrolled in another school in FCPS.
- Students who are new to Fairfax High School and who are currently enrolled in FCPS, but not a rising 9th-grade student who previously attended Katherine Johnson Middle School (formerly Lanier) as an 8th-grade student.
To register at Fairfax High School, first determine if your student lives in our boundary by viewing the FCPS boundary locator.
If your student does live in the Fairfax HS boundary and does meet one of the two categories above, please fill out the new student registration intake/signup form below. This form will be submitted to our school registrar who will be able to assist you with the new student registration process.

Transfer a Student to or from another FCPS High School
A student is expected to attend the school that serves their attendance area. Transfer requests are considered for very specific reasons as outlined in FCPS School Board Regulation 2230.
Student transfer information is available if a parent would like to transfer a student from a base school to another school within FCPS. However, a school must be open to transfers, based on student capacity, etc.
