What I would suggest doing is developing a draft of a presentation and talk to the GC about presenting it during Freshman orientation or even the day the 8th graders check out the high school. So don’t go in with nothing, but don’t wait too long to perfect it.

Also talk to them about how kids get into more advanced classes…you can’t just say “I want to” but you have to show you have the grades in middle school.

Or maybe this is something you do as a mentoring program in Middle school so the kids can be ready by the time they get to HS.

Check out a program like “heroes and cool kids” http://www.heroesandcoolkids.org/student-leadership-program/
That does mentoring of middle schoolers by HSers.

Also talk about how you program would continue after you graduate.
