Patriot High School is a choice enrollment school. Students are chosen through the combined input of parents, the referring school, and the teachers and administration at Patriot High School. They are admitted on a needs and numbers basis, with the final decision coming from Patriot High School. If students do not take advantage of the center's unique opportunities, they will be sent back to their home schools, and other students will be admitted.

District 49’s board-approved strategic plan provides unified vision, goals and strategies to prepare students to achieve like never before. Its strategic plan is organized around a a big rocks metaphor. If the district identifies and focuses on what's most important – its big rocks of trust, community, best district, portfolio of schools and every student – and then adds other things around them, the medium-sized rocks, and finally works in the pebbles, everything better fits together. District 49 has applied this metaphor in its strategic plan, which identifies the district's Big Rocks. These strategic initiatives will be emphasized over the upcoming years, representing the district’s commitment to its community. These five rocks are its foundation for building an excellent future with its staff, students and greater community.
