On Wednesday, May 1, 2024, Culpeper County Public Schools (CCPS) celebrated 30 seniors who have made commitments to the military or their future career at Culpeper’s 5th Annual Career and Technical Education (CTE) Signing Day. CCPS CTE Signing Day gives our students the opportunity to profess their intentions for their future.
The event, held at the Culpeper Technical Education Center, is similar to signing days for college athletes committing to athletic programs. Students, along with their parents and either their employer or recruiter, sign a letter that outlines the expectations of all parties to help ensure success for both the student and their employer or military branch. This represents the investment that all parties are making in the development of the students’ future.
By signing the letter of intent, students agree to expectations including graduating from high school in good standing, attending school and work each day on time, passing any certification tests associated with their curriculum, and, continuing to be a model student/employee/recruit. The Employer/Military expectations include providing feedback to the employee or recruit and providing reasonable opportunities for the student to learn skills necessary to be successful.
