Tate High School Hosts Military Signing Day To Honor Student Enlistees
May 4, 2025
Tate High School recently held its first-ever Military Signing Day—an event mirroring traditional athletic scholarship signings, but honoring students who have chosen to serve in the United States Armed Forces.
In a ceremony filled with pride and patriotism, six students were recognized for their commitment to military service following graduation. Each student signed enlistment documents in front of classmates, teachers, and proud family members.
The honored enlistees included:
- Jayce Latzer – Army Reserves
- Zachary Colston – Army Active Duty
- Ryan Gates – Army Active Duty
- Conner Houchens – Army Active Duty
- Jaida Goodyear – United States Marine Corps
- Phoenix Myrick – United States Marine Corps
Tate High commended these young men and women “for their courage, commitment, and service to our nation”.

You go bro (ZACK) your doing amazing job keep it up. Proud to say I know you. Much love. Thank you for your services to come
Congratulations to the signees who have chosen selfless service to our nation. There are great personal and professional rewards from serving in our military. As a Class of 72 graduate, I too volunteered to serve in our U.S. Army in 1975 as a private. After 33 years of service in the rank of Chief Warrant Officer Five, as a CH-47 Instructor Pilot, I want all these signees to know that it was one of the best decisions of my life. The opportunities are limitless. You can go as far and as high as your motivation will take you. Good luck to you all and Godspeed!
One of the smartest things I ever did was serve 20 years in the Army. Congratulations to each and every one of you and thank you for your service!!!
Thank you for choosing to serve.
Wonderful! This is great thing to start – Congrats and thank u for ur service!
Congratulations on your commitment to the military. As enlistees you should be proud of your choice and know that you are supported by your community along with millions of othera in our country
To the parents of these students, you have done well in raising them to be respectful, honorable, productive members of society.
Thank you William for taking the time to bring these achievements to our attention.
Wonderful recognition of these fine young people. We need to remember that there are still young people like this everywhere, regardless of the idiots that are featured in all the “click bait” news and social media. These can become the authentic “influencers” of their country.
Thank you for your commitment to serve our country. I’m very proud of you, and pleased that Tate has chosen to recognize and honor you publicly for doing so.
Congratulations young men, thank you for your patriotism to serve our country.
