Ohio recognizes military service as a meaningful post-high school pathway for students who wish to enlist and proudly celebrates students who commit to serve each year. Ohio's graduates have the option of earning seals on their diplomas for meeting special requirements in specific areas. Military enlistment is among these twelve graduation seals. Each Child, Our Future, Ohio’s strategic plan for education, is aligned to the one goal of student success post-graduation, which includes serving in a military branch. The All-Ohio United State Armed Forces Career Commitment Celebration is an opportunity to celebrate students each year who dedicate themselves to military service.
