Prospective candidates must be between 13 and 17 years of age at the time of registration and a resident of Georgia.

Applicants will be required to complete an enrollment form and applicable waivers that must be signed by a parent or legal guardian.

Class size is limited to 20 students.

Completed applications can be dropped off between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays at the police station or emailed to kbrown@peachtree-city.org.
