College Decision Day (also known as College Signing Day) is an initiative to recognize high school seniors for their postsecondary plans and to encourage younger students and their families to prepare early for college. Schools celebrate this momentous step in a variety of ways: pep rallies, adorning college gear, inviting guest speakers, interviewing students about their accomplishments and more.
This year, First Lady Michelle Obama has invited schools and communities across the nation to celebrate high school seniors’ choice to continue their educations on April 26th. Florida CAN encourages all high schools to join the excitement nationwide.
