About this Event
Choices Expo is your one-stop event to explore real college and career pathways available right here in Fort Worth.
Meet teachers, explore programs, and apply on-site for Gold Seal Schools and Programs of Choice. Specialized learning options designed to help students from grades 5–9 discover their passion and prepare for the future.
These are not separate schools. They’re the ones you already know or have heard of, offering focused tracks in fields like:
- STEM & Engineering at I.M. Terrell Academy for STEM & VPA and Young Men’s Leadership Academy
- Medical & Biomedical Sciences at Texas Academy of Biomedical Sciences and North Side High School
- Fine Arts & Performance including Dance at Arlington Heights, Visual Art at I.M. Terrell, and Mariachi at North Side
- Business & Entrepreneurship at Trimble Tech and YMLA
- Aviation, Welding & Construction at Dunbar and Diamond Hill-Jarvis
- Culinary Arts & Hospitality at Trimble Tech, South Hills, and O.D. Wyatt
- Cybersecurity & Web Design at Eastern Hills, Carter-Riverside, and South Hills
- Early College & P-TECH Programs at Marine Creek, TCC South Collegiate, and Western Hills where students can earn college credit or an associate degree for free
Every Gold Seal program connects classroom learning to the real world through industry certifications, dual-credit courses, and mentorship from local business partners.
Join us Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 9 AM – 1 PM at Wilkerson-Greines Activity Center. FWISD staff will be on-site to help families apply, answer questions, and guide students toward the programs that match their interests.
Applications open the same day.
Every student gets up to three Choices. Apply for up to three programs you love — and the system will place you in the highest one available. If your top pick is full, your child stays on the waitlist for that school while keeping their confirmed spot elsewhere.
It’s all part of a computer-generated, fair-chance lottery that helps every family find the best fit. FWISD staff will be on-site to guide you step-by-step through the process, from application to lottery to waitlist updates.
Whether your child dreams of coding, cooking, performing, or earning college credit early — there’s a path waiting at FWISD.
