A Nice Way To Recognize Students

I see nothing wrong, and quite a lot that's good, in this:
High schools across the country are highlighting their soon-to-be graduating students' intentions to join the military.

Similar to college or athletic "signing days" — in which high school students officially or ceremonially declare the place of higher education they've committed to — schools are increasingly hosting "military signing days."

I like this. Over the years I've had several students enlist.It would be nice to have their decisions celebrated.

Haven't seen that yet.
Still promoting athletic signing, still not recognizing the top academic acheivement (Regents Advanced Diploma with Honors) although the nonHonors version is recognized. Val and Sal rarely have the Honors diploma as it requires high Regents Math Exam scores.
