Making learning fun and engaging is paramount in the EVSC, which is why the district is hosting an Options Fair for area eighth grade students and their families to learn more about the innovative options available in the district. The EVSC Options Fair is scheduled for Wednesday, October 2, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center, 1901 Lynch Road.
Enrollment for high school begins in November and the fair will give students and families a better understanding of the options that are available to them in which they can enroll. Informational booths will be set up and students will be able to speak with teachers and current students in a variety of programs.
The EVSC’s innovative options include five half-day programs: International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme; Randall T. Shepard Leadership & Law Academy; Medical Professions Academy; Early College High School; JROTC; as well as the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center. Other full-day options include New Tech Institute and EVSC Virtual Academy.
Students who participate in one of the half-day innovative programs can still maintain their allegiance to their home high school and participate in athletics and other extra-curricular activities at their home school.
