Showcase of Schools is THIS Saturday (10/25/25 at Norton Healthcare Sports & Learning Center).
Representatives from all 160+ JCPS schools will be under one roof to share information with families about the district’s various choices, including magnet schools, career programs, and more! This may be especially important for our 5th grade families exploring middle school options.
