Save the Date for Directions College and Career Fair 2015

What is the Directions College and Career Fair?

The goal is to provide every student access to an academic and/or a career-oriented opportunity after high school that will allow them to reach their potential and equip every student with the knowledge they need to succeed after graduation.

Our consortium of school administrators, school counselors, and special educators from the northwest suburbs of Chicago include representatives from Barrington Community Unit School District 220, Township High School District 211, Township High School District 214, St. Viator High School, and William Rainey Harper College.

Combined, our schools serve more than 5,000 students who receive special education or Section 504 services. This event has the potential to reach hundreds of your potential future students.
