Visits will take place between August 25 and November 14, and are open to juniors and seniors only. Please note that sophomores and freshmen will not be included at this time. We kindly ask that all communications about your visit be directed toward junior and senior students.

Scheduling Your Visit

Use your existing MaiaLearning account or create a new one.
When selecting a time slot, please ensure that the Central Standard Time (CST) schedule aligns with your calendar if you're located in a different time zone.

As in past years, we will be hosting in-person visits only—virtual visits will not be offered.

You may park in the visitor parking spots by the main entrance. Please give yourself ample time to park and check-in with security at the front desk with your photo ID.
