Senior Signing Day

The best day of the year!

At YES Prep, Senior Signing Day has been an annual tradition where our seniors declare what is next in their journey by sharing what college, university, armed forces branch or post-secondary opportunity they will be pursuing after they graduate.

Seniors have watched this tradition every year and have earned their moment in the spotlight!

In 2020-2021, YES Prep held Senior Signing Day on May 23, 2021, at 6 p.m. at Rice University. We celebrated all 1,456 seniors from 13 of our secondary schools with graduating seniors. The event was livestreamed for the rest of the YES Prep community to watch safely from home, while seniors and their families got to attend in person.

You can see photos from the event by entering the hashtag #SSD2021 on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

History of Senior Signing Day

Senior Signing Day is YES Prep's take on a ceremony that traditionally is reserved for star athletes playing big-time Division 1 sports.

While those are impressive accomplishments, we believe our YES Prep seniors deserve the same, if not more, attention because each one of them represents what we set out to prove when we first founded YES Prep back in 1998: Any student -regardless of zip code, ethnicity, or income level- can graduate from high school and attend and complete a four-year college, when they are given access to the same opportunities and the same resources that students receive in great private schools and in great suburban public schools.
