Heights High to host annual Northeast Suburban College Fair

It’s never too early to start planning for post secondary education. Cleveland Heights High School (13263 Cedar Road) will host the 16th Annual Cleveland Northeast Suburban College Fair on Thursday, March 11, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Students will have the opportunity to meet guidance staff, college admissions officers, and alumni representatives from over 140 colleges, universities and technical schools at the fair. Students and their families are invited to gain information about a wide variety of schools, specifics about student life on campus, programs and majors at each school, admissions and financial aid.

“The College Fair gives students a chance to begin the very important task of planning their futures,” Career Education Coordinator Michelle Phelps said. “The college fair is an important planning tool and the perfect opportunity for students and parents to talk one-on-one with college representatives at one location. Students are given a list of suggested questions to ask representatives to help jump start the conversation and information gathering.”

The fair is open to all local public, private and parochial students, and admission is free. Additional parking will be available in the municipal lot next to Wendy’s, off Cedar Road, across from Heights High. 

The fair is sponsored by the Tri-Heights Career Development Program of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District. For additional information, please contact Michelle Phelps, career education coordinator at Cleveland Heights High School, at 216-371-7149, or http://resources.chuh.org/careerdev (click on “College Fair”).
