School Board Member Peggy Higgins said parents of students or perspective students can learn what it's like to be a parent in several Prince George's County Public Schools. Monday night's showcase will focus on schools in District 2.

"Come and meet people," Higgins said. "It’s really to get the opportunity to get to find out what’s happening in our schools."
