We would like to invite all of the 8th grade students to our Magnet Night at Banning High School.
We have four magnet programs:

All of our programs have received the 🌟MSA Merit School of Distinction Award🌟 for the last three years.
We have something for everyone.
At our event, the students and their families will hear about each program, talk to our teachers, take home some giveaways and tour our campus.
Our event will be Wednesday, 11/5, at 5:30 pm.
We would greatly appreciate if you shared our flyer with your 8th grade families. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
