Seminole Ridge High School took part in the annual nationwide College Signing Day on May 1, with events before school and during both lunch periods. Seniors celebrated their post-secondary plans by signing a college banner and taking Class of 2018 photos. School counselors, administrators, teachers and students proudly wore their college gear to show off their school of choice.
Championed by former First Lady Michelle Obama, College Signing Day rallies around students who have committed to higher education and deserve to be celebrated like a celebrity or a star athlete, whether attending a community college or a four-year university, enrolling in a certification program, joining the military or undertaking other education past high school.
