Papillion La Vista Community Schools

In 2023, Educators Rising, a community-based movement, designated May 2nd as National Signing Day to celebrate high school seniors pursuing careers in education. Papillion La Vista Community Schools (Papillion, NE) organized their own celebration, similar to sports signing days, with seniors sitting at personalized tables on a stage. Invitations were sent through a Google form to graduating seniors and parents in April. The event featured a scripted ceremony with HR administrators as emcees, and attendees included parents, favorite K-12 teachers, principals, and media. Each student's picture was displayed as they signed, along with a bio and quote from their favorite teacher. The positive feedback received, including display of signing day certificates at graduation parties and social media sharing, highlighted the success of the event in supporting students' journey into the teaching profession.
