Magnet school informational fair is Jan. 20
Eighth graders and eligible students are invited to attend the 2010 Magnet School Fair, which will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Jan. 20 at the Northside Activity Center, 7001 Culebra Road.
Applications are being accepted for the 2010-11 school year for all five NISD magnet programs, which include
Business Careers,
Communications Arts, and
Health Careers high schools, and
Construction Careers and
Science and Engineering academies.
Northside magnet schools offer a focused, career-specific education for students who show an interest in a particular field or know what career path they want to take. Today, more than 2,700 students are enrolled in NISD magnet programs.
For a complete description and contact information for each program, please see the
NISD Magnet Schools brochure.
The deadline to submit an application to attend a magnet school is Feb. 26. Enrollment is limited at each school.
All Northside eighth graders are eligible for enrollment, and some schools do accept applications from students already in high school and from outside the District. Please check with individual programs for applications and age and residency requirements.
At the Magnet School Fair, representatives will be available to provide details about the program and information on the application process. Representatives also will be making visits to each middle school campus:
