Region 9 Education Service Center will host its annual College Fair on Monday, September 22, 2025, from 6:00 – 7:30 PM at Region 9 ESC, located at 301 Loop 11 in Wichita Falls.

The event is open to all 9th–12th grade students in school districts served by Region 9 ESC, and parents are encouraged to attend alongside their students.

The College Fair brings together representatives from universities and colleges across Texas, Oklahoma, and beyond. Students will also have the opportunity to connect with representatives from military branches, community organizations, and resources such as the Texas Workforce Commission and the Wichita Falls Area Community Foundation.

In addition to visiting with recruiters, attendees can take part in special sessions. Midwestern State University will present on avenues for financial aid, and Region 9 ESC staff will share information about careers in education.

“College Fair is a valuable opportunity for students and families to explore options, ask questions, and plan for the future,” said Lacy Murphey, College and Career Counseling Specialist at Region 9 ESC. “We encourage all students to take advantage of the wealth of information and resources available in one place.”

Students may pre-register online but pre-registration is not required. The registration page and helpful instructions are available here:
