WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 2017 HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A5 RECORDS Umatilla Signing Day Hermiston Herald Students from Umatil- la High School got to see what the future can look like when the school held its second annual “sign- ing day,” honoring its graduating students who will pursue higher educa- tion. All of Umatilla’s se- niors who will attend col- lege, trade school or the military were celebrated, with each one introducing themselves and telling the school what their plans were for next year. “I think it’s great,” said Steven Ebker, the student body president and a se- nior who will be attending Oregon State University. “I love that the other stu- dents, many even fresh- men, are really proud of their friends. Especially with somebody being rec- ognized, they know there are people who care about their education.” The “Signing Day” idea was started by Tia Sepulvuda, the school’s Gear Up coordinator. Of Umatilla High School’s 74 graduating seniors, 55 have already committed to post-sec- ondary education of some kind, about 74 percent of the graduating class. STAFF PHOTO BY E.J.
