And the 2017 Annual Seattle Education Exposition will be held on this coming Saturday from 9 am to 2pm at Newport High School. This Expo brings together admissions officers and other advisors from several universities from states like Washington and California to give high school students, as well as their parents, a better understanding of the college admissions process, higher education options, and how to make the most out of their college experience. We welcome every parent to take part in this grand event. Please expect parking difficulties on campus and make arrangement in advance to avoid being stuck in traffic and being late for your class.
