CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — A Signing Day celebration in Chesterfield honored more than 50 high school students.
These students were not signing on with a college to play sports.
They are seniors from the Career and Technical Center who signed up to join the military or committed to a full-time job.

"Manchester is it's a whole different experience. It's way different classes," he said. "The Tech Center is more hands-on. You go there, you get to do more, you learn more with your hands. That's more of my thing. That's why I really enjoyed it."
