With the stroke of her pen, Lanier High School senior Jillian Forbes erased any potential anxiety she could have had trying to find a job after graduating from Kennesaw State University with a degree in secondary education.

Gwinnett County Public Schools held a ceremony Tuesday at the J. Alvin Wilbanks Instructional Center where Forbes and fellow seniors from GCPS school seeking careers in education, signed unofficial job offers. In the same way a student-athlete might have a signing ceremony to celebrate their acceptance of a college scholarship, this group of future teachers signed their own letters of intent to earn their education degree and one day return to GCPS to launch their young careers.
