The seniors signed their names on large posters, received a slice of pizza and some AHC swag at the amphitheater, said Melani Teixeira, Panther College & Career Center specialist.

“It was awesome to be able to celebrate with my friends,” said student Andrew Godinez.

“AHC signing day is a wonderful event where our guidance and counseling team gets to recognize our seniors that have committed to their future and completed the steps of the Hancock Promise,” said Rebecca Leadbetter, senior counselor.

“This celebration is a culmination of a year-long collaboration between Hancock and PV to ensure that college is possible for every student,” she said.
