Annual Showcase of Schools
The 23rd Annual Showcase of Schools took place virtually on October 19, 2021. This event allowed
parents and students to learn firsthand about all the Choice and Career related programs available
at each school. During FY22, plans began to return the Annual Showcase of Schools to an in-person
event on October 18, 2022, at the South Florida Fairgrounds.* This event will be open to all families
interested in learning firsthand from representatives from all Choice and Career programs before
opening the FY24 Choice application window.

*Showcase plans are in-person pending COVID-19 guidelines and are subject to change should the
need arise.
