LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Choosing the school with the best fit for your child can be overwhelming, but Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) is making it easy with a one stop shop. 

On Oct. 9, they're hosting their annual 'Showcase of Schools.' Parents and students can meet with representatives from over 150 JCPS schools of all grades. 

The event hopes to explain the application process to both parents and students and answer any questions they may have. While also providing the opportunity to explore multiple schools in the district.

It will be held at the Kentucky International Convention Center from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Head to the South Halls A and B and the Upper Concourse for the showcase. 

Due to some COVID-19 safety protocols, some of the schools will meet with guests virtually. But the majority of representatives will be in-person.
