This year we are excited to be able to offer additional special presentations on topics important to prospective students and their families, as well as some fun entertainment and informative exhibitions. The layout of the event has been designed with an exciting new look and feel this year, making it even more inviting for visitors to explore and experience all that the Open House has to offer. Not only will participants be able to learn about areas in which they are already interested, but they'll be introduced to new and different possibilities not previously thought of or dreamed about.
