There are signing days for athletics, but not normally for academics. But a Washington, D.C. charter school decided to highlight the educational accomplishments of its seniors as they signed their "letters of intent" for post-secondary education, WRC reported.

Not one, not 10, not 20 students were accepted to college at the National Collegiate Preparatory Public Charter High School. The entire senior class, 60 students, will be going to college.

The entire class will be graduating, keeping the streak that the school has attained for the last 5 years, WRC reported.

The school held its academic “Signing Day” Wednesday.

The school is situated in Ward 8, the smallest areas of the District of Columbia with taxable land, containing the oldest suburb of D.C., Anacostia, originally called Uniontown, founded in 1854.

Each girl received a pin, the boys received gold ties as a remembrance of their success at their soon-to-be alma mater.

The class graduates on June 12.
