Durham Schools Showcased This Weekend

On Saturday, families can meet with educators and administrators from Durham Public Schools to learn what the district has to offer their children.

The annual Showcase of Schools is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23, at N.C. Central University’s Student Center at 500 Nelson St.

During the showcase, families can get educated about neighborhood, zoned, and application schools, including options for year-round, Montessori, international baccalaureate, and dual-language immersion. The district also will have representatives to discuss specialty high schools, early colleges, and career and technical programming.
