More Than 50 Colleges, Trade Schools and Military Branches Will Be in One Room in Magnolia on Tuesday Night.
By The Magnolia Standard · October 23, 2026
Two hours, one building, more than 50 schools and services. For a junior who has not decided anything yet, it is a place to start.
Magnolia ISD's high school counselors are putting more than 50 colleges, career schools and military branches under one roof on Tuesday, October 27.
The Futures Fair runs from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Magnolia Event Center, 11659 FM 1488. The district says it is open to all Magnolia ISD students and their families.
Representatives will talk about academic programs, career training and military service, and about the scholarships attached to them. The point of the evening, as the district puts it, is a chance to ask questions face to face with the people who handle admissions.
Who it is for
The obvious answer is seniors, who are filling out applications now. The district's invitation is wider than that, and for a reason. A ninth grader who hears what a welding program or a nursing degree asks for has three years to take the classes that get them in.
A parent can learn something too. Families who have never been through college admissions, or through a recruiter's office, get to hear it from the source in one evening instead of a dozen websites.
