Documents Needed to Register

Proof of address Utility Bill (Water bill, light bill, gas bill, land-line telephone bill), Lease in parent’s name or legal guardian’s name showing residence in the B T Washington High School attendance zone. If the parents and child are living with a family member or someone else, a copy of a bill of the person that they are living with is needed and the parent needs to complete a Statement of Residence Form and place the completed form in the enrollment packet. If the person enrolling the student is not the parent or legal guardian, then that person needs to go to HISD Student Transfer to complete a Determination of Residency of a Minor Form.
Parents can use the HISD “School Zone Search Tool’ or call the Student Transfer Department at 713-556-6734.
2. An Approved Transfer is needed if a student does not live in the Booker T. Washington’s attendance zone. Transfer form may be picked up and completed in the main office. If the parent has secured an approved transfer or has started the transfer process for his/her child please informs the BTWHS registration staff of this during the registration process. The BTWHS staff will, in turn, verify the status of the transfer.

Transcripts
An official record of a student’s grades, credits, and standardized test results is referred to as a transcript. Transcripts are most often requested when applying for admission to a college or university and for scholarships. Transcripts are sent at the written request of a student or parent dependent upon the student's age. An official transcript contains a seal and is sent in a sealed envelope. If a transcript is opened by anyone other than the addressee, the transcript is no longer considered official.
