The fair will be set up so prospective students and their parents can visit booths from each school and speak one-on-one with admission representatives about their schools of interest.

FHCDS Director of Secondary School Counseling, Ed Thompson, encourages all to attend this invaluable event because, “Admission representatives are excited to meet local families and are eager to share information with them about their schools.” 

Former FHCDS parent Teresa Goldman said, "The secondary school fair shed valuable light on the many high school options available to our child. The fair introduced us to the possibility of applying to schools that weren't on our initial list and we were able to narrow our daughter’s school list as a result of the information we received from recruiters."

Goldman added, "The secondary school process can be a challenging one, but the secondary school fair and it's recruiters were a great help to ease the time and apprehension involved during the search process."
