Today, Northeast State held its annual National Career and Technical Education Letter of Intent Signing Day, welcoming students committed to attending the College for the 2023-24 school year.
Northeast State held a signing day for 13 local career and technical education students who plan to attend the College in fall 2023. Logan Pearce of West Ridge High School is shown signing his agreement.
The ceremony was part of a national event sponsored by the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3), which mirrors the NCAA’s national signing day for athletes.
The event honors students entering the technical education field and celebrates the dignity of work. Northeast State was one of dozens of schools across the country hosting events to celebrate students choosing career and technical education paths.
“We need you to do this not only as a community, but as state and country,” said Dr. Jeff McCord, president of Northeast State. “Thank you for stepping up and walking this path. You have made a very good decision.”
The academic athletes donned Northeast State Community College caps and signed letters of intent while being celebrated by faculty, staff, parents, and community members.

Steele, whose hometown is Bristol, was nominated by Jamie Gray, his dual enrollment Machine Tool Operations instructor. Steele was one of only 50 students across the country to receive the honor.
Three NC3 representatives attended the event: Alex Brookhouse, operations director; Haley Lechner, training and events manager; and Daniel Dobson, virtual training coordinator.
