If you've got an 8th-grader looking for a high school -- or a 9th-grader looking to change high schools -- you may want to join the throngs at the citywide high school fair this weekend at Brooklyn Tech High School in Fort Greene.

Yes, there will be a crowd, but it's a good opportunity to meet representatives from all high schools -- including students -- and ask your admissions questions. You can also collect information about upcoming school tours and open houses.

If you are new to the high school admissions process, you will benefit from attending workshops and talks offered by Department of Education enrollment officials throughout the day. It's a good chance to pin them down on specific topics.

The fair is on both Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. See you there!
