Once a member is accepted to a MADCAPS incoming class, their membership will continue along with their class for six years (7th-12th grade), as long as they stay in good standing. There is not another membership opportunity, except for two exceptions: 

  • Older sisters (in 7th – 12th grade) who are not current junior members are eligible to join their own age’s class if they join at the same time as a 6th-grade sibling
  •  If a class membership drops below a certain level, it may open up to new members. This is not a common occurrence, but will be announced on this page if it does occur.

Please note:

  • After you fill out the interest form, you will receive further information on the application and interest meetings. It is mandatory to attend one interest meeting and to submit the application by the required deadline.
  • This year’s entering class is current 6th graders who will graduate from high school in the Class of 2033.
