What is Decision Day?
Decision Day is the culminating annual event in HSSL college and career readiness program. Formerly known as, "College Signing Day" the High School for Service and Learning has expanded its core values and mission to have all students, employed, enrolled, or enlisted upon graduation.
Decision Day is the final celebration in the #CollegeCareerReady trilogy at HSSL. It begins in early october with #iApplied
In the #iApplied phase we display, announce, and celebrate the colleges or technical programs our seniors have applied to.
In the early spring we enter the #I'mAccepted phase where we announce and display the schools our seniors have been accepted to.
Finally in the late spring we have a whole school celebratory event, "Decision Day' is held in the auditorium. There's food, a DJ, games and raffles. Seniors, along with our guidance counselors come on stage and announce their decisions alongside a projected powerpoint presentation. There is a signing ceremony where students sign off on their decisions as a commitment to themselves and their futures. In the past we have had an HSSL alumni as a keynote speaker, this year we wanted to extend an invitation to our superintendent to highlight and celebrate the senior class with the most college acceptances in the 5 years.
We invited parents and families to join us in person! For those who cannot attend, the event will live streamed on the school's social media platforms.
