The First Lady commended the 2,000 students present, and all college-bound high school seniors throughout America, on their college acceptances and called them real role models. In congratulating the soon-to-be graduates, the First Lady also called on them to help younger students reach this impressive goal of attending college.
This year, more than 600 Signing Day events took place to honor graduating seniors who will go on and continue their education at a two-year college, a four-year college, a community college, or a certificate or credential program.
