Evansville 8th Graders Are Invited to Attend the EVSC’s 2024 “Options Fair”

The high schools within the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC) include Bosse, Central, Harrison, North, and Reitz. These are all great schools, but they aren't the only choices for students - there are other options, and the EVSC would like to tell you all about them at the 2024 Options Fair.

The fair is open to all 8th graders and their families who would like to learn more about learning opportunities outside of the "traditional" high school setting, and there are a bunch of great innovative models to choose from.

What Are the EVSC Innovative Models?

Sounds pretty cool, doesn't it? Well, the aforementioned models are pretty cool. "Innovative models" refer to more specialized classes, programs, and/or schools - and there are several to choose from within the EVSC. They include:

• Academy of Future Educators
• Academy of Science & Medicine (hosted at Central High School)
• Berry Link
• Early College High School
• EVSC Virtual Academy
• JROTC
• New Tech Institute High School
• Shepard Leadership & Law Academy (hosted at Harrison High School)
• Southern Indiana Career & Technical Center

Many of these models are half-day programs, where students spend half of the day at their "home" school and the other half of the day at a different school/building. This allows students to still see friends and teachers at their high school, as well as participate in athletics and other extra-curricular activities.

2024 EVSC Options Fair Details

The EVSC Options Fair is scheduled for Thursday, October 24, 2024 from 5pm-7:45pm at the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center on Lynch Road.
