Answering the Call to Serve: Santa Clarita High School Seniors Enlisting in U.S. Armed Services to be Recognized by Our Community Salutes
Our Community Salutes (OCS) of Santa Clarita and the Kiwanis Club of Santa Clarita will host an enlistee recognition ceremony on May 16, 2026 to honor the class of 2026 high school seniors, and their families, for their commitment to serve the nation in the U.S. Armed Services. This ceremony allows the community to be the first to say “Thank Your” for making the commitment to protect and serve our na-tion.
Since 2009, OCS – USA has conducted hundreds of recognition ceremonies nationwide, honoring tens of thousands new enlistees and their families.
“I am exceptionally proud of these brave young adults in Santa Clarita who have taken the oath to protect our liberties and freedoms at a critical time,” said Dr. Kenneth Hart-man, OCS – USA Founder and President. “The military is facing a substantial recruiting crisis, and we must do everything we can to honor and support them as they embark on their military journey.”
The ceremony will be underwritten by local businesses and individuals, ensuring there is no cost to attend. This generous support reflects the community’s recognition of the dedication and sacrifice made by the Class of 2026 high school enlistees who have made the selfless decision to serve our country.
Going beyond recognition, the ceremonies also create a network of local support, as well as provide much-needed transitional resources to new enlistees; 75% of whom will only serve for 48-months.
The ceremony, held at the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center at College of the Canyons, will open for check-in and a reception at 1:00 PM, followed by the commencement of the ceremony promptly at 2:00 PM.
We are still accepting sponsorships for our ceremony.
