That would be a bad thing.
Once they are 18, they are fair game.

there's lots of contracts like that out there that parent's give consent just by accepting. Getting any government subsidies in my opinion puts you at the mercy of the strings attached for such subsidies. These are PUBLIC high schools. You choose to use the public facilities then you have to pay such prices for it.
Even if you do attend a private school, in California I recall having to fill out the selective service forms for my 18th birthday. Checking the website netted this information:
Quote:
Virtually all men must register with Selective Service. The exceptions to this rule are very few and include: nonimmigrant aliens on student, visitor, tourist, or diplomatic visas; men on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces; and cadets and midshipmen in the Service Academies and certain other U.S. military colleges. All other men must register upon reaching age 18 (or before age 26, if entering and taking up residence in the U.S. when already older than 18).
Disabled men, clergymen, and men who believe themselves to be conscientiously opposed to war must register because there is no draft in effect, nor is there a program to classify men at this time. Should the Congress and the President reinstate a draft, a classification program would begin. Registrants would be examined to determine suitability for military service, and they would also have ample time to claim exemptions, deferments, or postponements. To be inducted, men would have to meet the physical, mental, and administrative standards established by the military services. Local Boards would meet in every American community to determine exemptions and deferments for clergymen, ministerial students, and men who file claims for reclassification as conscientious objectors.
