A Minnesota Education Fair for all area high school students and their parents will be held at Albert Lea High School from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday in the gymnasium.

This fair provides students and parents an opportunity to explore a variety of options for post-secondary education, technical training or military service after high school. Representatives from 100 educational institutions and other organizations will be available to answer questions and provide important information for post-high school planning.

Save time at the college fair — register your information ahead of time. You can register your personal information and create a personal barcode to be scanned at the fair by colleges that you are interested in. Simply register at www.gotomef.com before you come to the college fair, print out the barcode and bring it with you.

Sponsored by the Minnesota Association for College Admission Counseling, the same group that hosts the National College Fair held in the Twin Cities each fall, this program offers an excellent chance for high school students to begin planning for life after graduation. Admission is free. Students can contact their high school counselor for further information. Information is also available on the Albert Lea High School’s guidance department webpage.
