Okaloosa County School District will hold its sixth annual Career and Technical Education (CTE) Career and College Signing Day, celebrating students committed to continuing their education and technical training after high school.

This event is scheduled for Thursday, April 17 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center (100 E. College Blvd, Niceville).

The keynote address at the ceremony will be delivered by Nathan Sparks, Executive Director of One Okaloosa Economic Development Council.

“This exciting event will honor the achievements of our CTE students as they take critical steps toward continuing their education and training beyond high school,” said Superintendent Marcus Chambers.
