Several thousand people are expected at the Miami-Dade school system's SCHOOL DISCOVERY SHOWCASE, Saturday, Nov. 6, from 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Miami-Dade County Fair & Exposition's Arnold Hall, Coral Way and S.W. 112 Ave. This Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS)/Fair-sponsored event gives students and their families an opportunity to explore the many choices the school system offers to help students prepare for future employment and higher education.

While geared toward helping eighth- and ninth-grade students and their parents select high school level career courses and programs, the SHOWCASE will offer beneficial information for students at all grade levels, including adult students. Highlights include exhibits by the school system's magnet programs, student career academies, charter schools, adult and technical education centers, a computer career center, counseling center, practice job interviews and information sessions. Local businesses will have exhibits as well with information about job opportunities for M-DCPS graduates.

Student performances will be featured and on-site child-care services will be provided. The Miami Herald/El Nuevo Herald is media partner for this event.
