We’re excited to provide this opportunity for CFISD students.”

United States Air Force recruiters were among the military representatives that attended In total, 3,412 guests and patrons attended College Night, including Bridgeland High School senior Matteo Caruso Pernas.
“There’s a lot of different schools here, like the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University, which is good to see because they don’t always come to visit the campuses,” Pernas said. “College Night is really valuable because even when I was a freshman my dad would encourage me and my brother to come out to events like this so we could get a better understanding of the schools around us. College Night has allowed me to explore for myself the world around me.”
