Life After High School

Each year, the Federal Way School District hosts a college and career fair at one of our high schools. Next year's Life After High School event will be held at Todd Beamer High School in October 2013 from 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm.

The event rotates each year between Decatur, Federal Way, Todd Beamer and Thomas Jefferson High Schools and is held October. All district parents and students are welcome to attend.

Please make plans to join us!
