Houston High School announces annual ‘Decision Day’ 

Houston High School’s second annual Decision Day – a celebration of the post-graduation plans for each graduating senior – has been announced for April 26.

The event is open to family members of the HHS class of 2024, as well as friends and community members. Decision Day celebrates the next steps for each graduating senior, the district said, whether they are enrolling in college, seeking career training, enlisting in the military or going into the workforce. The event will be held at 12:30 p.m. inside Tiger Fieldhouse.

“It has been a challenging year with FAFSA delays and issues no one has ever experienced, but our seniors have worked diligently to establish and pursue what’s next for them in life,”said Jeff McNiell, rootEd College and Career Advisor at Houston Schools. “This is one of the biggest life transitions they will experience, so we want to celebrate with them no matter where that next step leads them and continue to encourage them to be their absolute best in whatever they do.”

Houston board member Charlie Malam is the guest speaker at the event. A 1981 graduate, Malam served as a teacher, coach, middle school and high school principal during his 21 years at Houston Schools.

“Decision Day is part of a larger effort by our district to support students to prepare for
lifelong success,” said HHS Counselor Tara Volk. “We invite family, friends and the public to join us to celebrate the path our students are taking beyond high school. We are proud of them.”
