Parent Magnet Awareness Night is coming up this Thursday, October 29th!

To allow parents to become more aware of the high school magnet program options available in Houston, the Go Center is hosting a high school magnet fair on Thursday evening, October 29th, from 4:30-6:00PM at the Go Center (located inside the Student Center on campus).

This event will be an HISD high school magnet fair, in which representatives from select HISD magnet programs will be present to speak to students and parents and answer any questions concerning their magnet programs. There will also be important handouts and information about all the individual HISD magnet programs, including application deadlines and other awareness events available at this event. Light refreshments will also be provided.

All parents and students are welcome to attend—this event is also open to students from other middle schools. The more the merrier, so bring your friends along! :)
