On Friday, April 28th, Russellville High School hosted a College Signing Ceremony to celebrate seniors committing to obtaining a higher education. Over 226 students signed to 29 colleges!
Over 124 seniors signed to Arkansas Tech University, and others signed to various colleges in state and out of state.
Dr. Ginni McDonald, RSD Superintendent commented, “I am extremely proud of all of these students. I know they will continue to make us proud in their future endeavors.”
Dr. Mary Gunter from Arkansas Tech University gave a keynote address, and a number of the college admissions officers expressed their gratitude and support for all of their signees.
"It was wonderful to see the partnership today between RSD, our local Arkansas colleges, and even a few across the country come together to celebrate! These RHS seniors have worked hard planning to further their education after RHS! We appreciate the opportunity to host this event as part of our Ready for Life grant initiative with the district to improve student success after graduation." said Erin Aylor, RSD Career Coach.
Congratulations to these students, and good luck on your future endeavors!
Always remember, once a Cyclone, always a Cyclone!
