2009 Magnet Fair

Exploring Innovative Opportunities at the Magnet School Fair

The Magnet Schools Fair of the Wake County Public School System will be held from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturday, November 7 at Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School.

Families interested in educational choice can use the fair to explore the innovative programs offered through the school system’s network of magnet programs.

“We want to remind and assure our parents there has been no change to our magnet program or our commitment to it. The magnet program has served as a fundamental element of our choice options for our families for more than 25 years,” said Kevin L. Hill, school board chair. “We encourage families to explore how a magnet program can best serve their child’s needs.”

The magnet fair is open to the public and creates a venue for parents and students to visit interactive display booths and inquire about such magnet programs as Gifted and Talented, International Baccalaureate, Museums, University Connections, Leadership and Technology, and the newest magnet schools, Smith Elementary with the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, Brentwood Elementary with Engineering and Millbrook High with International Baccalaureate Middle Years and Diploma programmes. Families can also collect information about future recruitment events as well as enjoy performances by students attending magnet schools.
