Assemblies are held at each of the middle schools, known as the Middle School Blitz, when the Career Specialists and academy students from the neighboring high schools give a presentation to the options district wide. Middle grades students are then invited to a High School Showcase, where Programs of Interest are highlighted through a tradeshow-style event. Finally, each high school holds an \u201cAcademy Night\u201d.\u00a0 These events are the main avenues for teachers, business partners and students in the programs to assist middle grades students and their parents in understanding available options at the high schools that prepare students for a specific career and\/or additional fields of study.\u00a0Programs of Study and other marketing materials are shared at each of the events.
