The new BYU admissions department has been less generous with high schoolers and has made it harder to do so (e.g. website redesign so BYU CE no longer shows up under Google search, and moving the CE admissions to a different wing), but if you know where to look you can still apply.

This program was to help troubled students get through the problems of Elementary School, Middle School and High School, This program has shutdown in 2001 by the Provo School District due to budget cuts.
