High School Regional Programs ⟶ MCPS My Future Fair: Middle School Edition

MCPS My Future Fair: Middle School Edition

Families of Grade 7 students are invited to attend My Future Fair information sessions to learn more about the high school options available in MCPS. Beginning in fall 2027, MCPS will launch a new Regional High School Model, expanding access to specialized programs across the county. Current Grade 7 students will be the first to benefit from these expanded opportunities. Students may choose to apply to regional programs based on their interests. These programs are designed to expand opportunities, not replace the strong programs available at every high school.

Each session will include a brief overview of high school options available at the local school and within the region. It is recommended that families attend the meeting for their region for more region-specific information; however, families may attend any meeting, regardless of where they live.

All in-person sessions will be available in English and Spanish. Recorded presentations will be available on the regional program website. 

During the session, families will:

• Learn about local high school programs and opportunities.
• Explore regional program options aligned to student interests.
• Receive an overview of the general timeline and admissions process. 
• Hear answers to frequently asked questions.
• Connect with staff and ask questions after the presentation.

Families will also leave with tools to help start meaningful conversations with their student about high school and future goals.

No matter which path your student chooses, attending their home high school or exploring a regional program, they will continue to learn, grow and thrive during their high school years. We look forward to partnering with you as we prepare your student to be Future Ready. There are many great options, and our goal is to help each student find the best fit.
