Declaration Day

Toledo Public Schools' Declaration Day is a vibrant, district-wide celebration that marks the culmination of the TPS NEXTSTEP college and career readiness continuum. During this event, every graduating senior formally announces their post-graduation plan—whether it be Employment, Enrollment, or Enlistment, known as the 3E’s. The day highlights student achievement and future goals, with industry leaders, higher education institutions, and military representatives present to connect with students and showcase opportunities. All participants, including those entering apprenticeships, are honored with a personalized Declaration Day certificate and commemorative t-shirt, recognizing their commitment to the next step in their lifelong journey.
