In the District of Columbia, individual LEAs and high schools are encouraged to host DC Decision Day events during the months of April and May with the “I Have a Plan!” theme. The OSSE College and Career Readiness team is excited to support you in planning and promoting your own DC Decision Day event. We want to promote your events through the OSSE social media channels so make sure to register your event!

No matter which postsecondary options your students are pursuing after high school, we want to them to be excited to shout, “I Have a Plan!” Across the District, we intend to celebrate our students and get it trending!

In promotion of your event and throughout the festivities, we encourage you to review the suggestions in the Social Media Tips from the DC Decision Day Toolkit and include our DC-specific hashtags:

#DCDecisionDay    #IHaveAPlan
