More high schools are lending the term "signing day" to recognize graduating seniors who have “signed on” to work for local employers instead of attending college—a career path that has gone largely ignored by school corporations.

'Signing Day' not just for athletes anymore

"Signing Day" recognizes graduating seniors who have "signed on" to work for local employers instead of attending college. First-timers this year included Perry Central and Tell City high schools in southern Indiana; to honor those seniors who have chosen to go straight into the workforce, landing jobs in such occupations as construction, cosmetology, manufacturing and information technology.
