Every status issued through this application (accepted, waitlisted, or denied) is official when it is released on March 22 at 8:00 a.m. To be considered for a magnet seat, you must (1) submit this application and (2) complete the Muscogee County School District Online Registration (OLR) for the 2027–2028 school year, with all required documents uploaded, by February 5 at 11:59 p.m. Your Magnet Application Number will be used to match this application with your student's MCSD Online Registration. You will be required to enter it in your OLR. Do not apply with multiple email addresses for a single student. Use one, commonly checked parent/guardian email address. All communication regarding your application will be sent automatically by email via this Online Application Portal. By completing this process including Online Registration, you grant permission for schools to send a Records Request to your previous academic institution(s) if you are not currently enrolled in the Muscogee County School District.
You have 72 hours (3 consecutive days) from the time your acceptance posts to accept or decline an offered seat (acceptance) in this portal. Your 72 hours start when your offer posts, which may be March 22 at 8:00 a.m. or any later day while the offer season is open. The time runs continuously for each calendar day, including weekends and holidays. If you do not respond within 72 hours (3 days), or if you decline, your student will move to the bottom of that school's waitlist and the seat will be offered to the next student. Your student may receive another offer while the offer season is open (through March 31). You may hold only one accepted seat at a time.

In the Academy of Communication Arts and Design, students will gain fundamental workplace skills, technical application skills, and interpersonal skills necessary to enter and succeed in diverse careers associated with graphic design and print communications industry.
ACAD students will learn about artistic expression, graphic design, machinery operation, desktop publishing, photography, camera equipment, digital printing, image assembly, offset processes, print journalism, screen printing, laser engraving, teamwork, problem solving, and communications skills necessary in today’s modern graphic design and printing communications facilities. Students will gain valuable experience while using Adobe Creative Cloud, a collection of software used for graphic design, video editing, web development, photography, along with a set of mobile applications. They will have the opportunity to master those skills and become Adobe Certified in Photoshop and Illustrator.
While Graphics is our main focus, Marketing, Art, Journalism, and Audio Video Film Technology are the pillars of our program. Students will be given the opportunity to choose a focus area while also taking the other classes as a supplement.
Students in the academy will also investigate career options through internships and work-based learning. Students will gain experiences in leadership, teamwork, citizenship, and character development through participation in SkillsUSA and DECA amongst other clubs and activities at Kendrick High School.
