General Meeting
Selective Admissions School Fair
Columbus City Schools offers Selective Admissions as part of the School Choice/Lottery process for students meeting certain criteria for application. Letters to qualifying students will be mailed on January 12th, 2015.Â
Columbus PACE will be hosting a Selective Admissions School Fair to introduce students to the programs at Duxberry Park Alternative Elementary, Arts Impact Middle School, Eastmoor Academy High School, Columbus Alternative High School, and Fort Hayes High School. A representative from the School Choice department will be on hand to discuss the application process and answer any questions. This is a great opportunity to have one on one time with the school representatives to learn more about the programs they offer.
