The ceremony is an opportunity separate from graduations and school events to shine a light on students who have committed to join the military or a military academy. In addition to Superintendent Jennifer Chmiel Gillis, speakers included Mayor Jay Ruais and Maj. Gen. David Mikolaities, the state's Adjutant General.
