  2. Complete the application and attach copies of the following documents. The application is available at all HISD middle schools or you may pick one up at HSPVA.
    • Your most recent report card
    • Last year's final report card
    • The permanent record card (transcript)
    • Previous two years of standardized test records
    • Your immunization record

  3. Submit the application and documents to
    HSPVA
    4001 Stanford St.
    Houston TX 77006.
    We cannot accept faxed applications.
  4. You will be notified by mail of the date and time of your audition. If you fail to attend the audition or if you arrive late, you will not be rescheduled. You must contact the Magnet Office 24 hours prior to the audition to reschedule due to illness or family emergency. You will not be rescheduled due to lack of audition preparation If applying for more than one art area, prioritize the art areas in which you are most prepared to audition with "1st" and "2nd" choices. *Please note: Second art area choices are never guaranteed and are scheduled as audition spaces become available.
  5. Call back auditions will be held in February and March, 2010 for students who pass the first audition. A callback audition does not mean that the student has been accepted. Final notice of qualification for the school will be mailed on March 26, 2010.

Students must live in the Houston ISD boundaries full time to be considered for admission to HSPVA.
