Nearly 200 students and their parents turned out to the Newark Charter School Fund's first-ever high school fair to learn about their options from 17 of Newark's high schools, including both charter and district high schools.

With charter high schools and 10 district high schools lined up at tables next to each other, students had an opportunity to compare schools to see which would be the best fit. Teachers and administrators staffed the tables and some schools brought along current students, including several from East Side High School that came in full lacrosse gear.
