Thank you for your interest in applying to the High School Group tier, the highest academic level of the East Palo Alto Tennis & Tutoring Program (EPATT). We look forward to being able to assist you in meeting your post high school goals. Our only expectation is that you put forth your absolute best.

With all of our students, EPATT emphasizes the importance of having skills, knowing how to communicate, taking ownership, being responsible and seeking enrichment--very important characteristics for success. The overall goal of the High School Group tier is to produce motivated and responsible individuals that are capable of functioning effectively, not only at school, but also in their communities.

Please begin your application as soon as possible. The application is due in one week. Please attach your most recent progress report copy and your most recent report card. If you have any questions, you may contact Christina Erwin.
