2008 COLLEGE FAIR

PUSD hosted its first annual Poway Unified School District College Fair on October 22, 2008 at Westview High School. We were hoping to have about 1,000 students and parents. Instead there were more than 5,000 people at the Fair! The information below includes notes from workshop presenters and a listing of all the schools that attended the Fair.
