🎓 Program Choice Fair: 5–7 p.m.
🏫 College, Career & Military Fair: 6–8 p.m.

Families can explore CCS Program Choice opportunities, get a sneak peek of play-based kindergarten, and connect with colleges, universities, career representatives and military recruiters, all in one evening.

Program Choice applications for the 2027-28 school year open October 1 and close November 30, 2026. For more information, visit www.cabarrus.k12.nc.us/programchoice or email programchoice@cabarrus.k12.nc.us.

New this year for Program Choice Applicants: Students may apply for up to three programs through a single application in the Scribbles platform. Applicants will select their programs and rank them in order of preference instead of submitting separate applications for each program. Families are encouraged to explore the available options and discuss their preferred choices before applying.
