DPS Offers Schools Showcase on Saturday
Northern High School hosts the event, delayed from late last year, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for families interested in attending Durham Public Schools.
Southpoint Access is sharing revenue with Rogers-Herr Middle School Music Boosters until March 31.
Durham Public Schools, facing a student population decline despite an influx of new Bull City residents, on Saturday holds its annual Showcase of Schools to make the case that families should put their kids in DPS classrooms.
The event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., was delayed from late 2025. It'll be held at Northern High School, at 4622 N. Roxboro Rd.
During the event, families can learn about neighborhood, zoned schools, and application/magnet options, such as year-round, Montessori, and dual-language immersion.
Three information panels are planned:
- 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.: Transition to Kindergarten
- 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.: Navigating Magnet and Lottery Options in DPS
- 1 to 2 p.m.: Demystifying School Options: Charter, Public, and Everything in Between
All children attending can take home a free book from Book Harvest.
