What is the Directions College and Career Fair?

The goal is to provide every student with Special Education Services and Section 504 Services access to an academic and/or a career-oriented opportunity after high school and equip every student with the knowledge they need to succeed after graduation.

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

Combined, our schools serve more than 3,000 students who receive special education or Section 504 services. This event is intended to reach hundreds of potential future students.

Equipping all students with the knowledge they need
for success after high school.

Days until this year's Directions fair...
