National College Signing Day

About College Signing Day


College Signing Day is very special to Reach Higher. In spring 2014, our team planned the first National College Signing Day in San Antonio, Texas, and eight years later, we see, now more than ever before, the importance of postsecondary education.

College Signing Day celebrates all students committed to pursuing an education past high school. Whether they plan to attend a community college, a 4-year university, a certificate program, the military, or any other education past high school, College Signing Day shows full support for students making decisions for their future. That’s the entire reason why former First Lady Michelle Obama started Reach Higher and Better Make Room: to inspire students to own their future.
