More than 30 representatives of college, universities, technical schools and military branches will offer information to students at fairs in Forks, Port Angeles, Sequim, Chimacum and Port Townsend this week.
Schools on the North Olympic Peninsula are hosting the fairs during a three day college circuit.
“It is open to all high school students and their parents,” said Mike Nolan, a counselor at Port Angeles High School.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to find out more about just what may be on the horizon for them,” he said.
“They’ll have the chance to get first-hand information from people who have a working knowledge about all of the programs an individual school has to offer, as well as great insights into the admissions process and financial aid resources.”
The fairs will reflect the pathways students can follow after graduation, including two-year colleges, four-year private colleges, four-year public colleges, and career and technical schools.

■ Forks High School on Tuesday — 10 a.m. to noon at the school, 261 S. Spartan Ave.
