Many local high school students participated in a successful Kirkwood Washington County Regional Center signing day on April 23rd. The event was a way to recognize local seniors who have earned college credit in High School and who have made the decision to continue their education at Kirkwood Community College. 

Students who participated in the signing day included Washington High School seniors Frida Romero Ramirez, Charlie Halverson, and Jace Sanders, as well as two Mid-Prairie home school students Lydia Martin and Tabitha Martin.
