High School and Beyond Night is an annual event that provides students and their families an opportunity to get information to help with future planning. Students and parents are encouraged to attend together. Although much of the information is geared toward high school students, middle school students and their families are welcome to attend. Attendees may come for any/all parts of the event.

Why aren't there more employers, colleges, and universities at the fair? Any institution that wants to attend is welcome, but not all schools have admissions counselors who are in the area and available. Many highly selective schools do not attend fairs because they are so well-known already. Other schools don't have enough staff to cover smaller events.
This list will be updated as organizations RSVP.
