Every year in December, high school seniors from across the country march their college applications out the front doors of their schools and to their local post office or mail truck. Members of their school communities, family members, local business leaders, politicians, and other supporters turn out to cheer them on as they march. In 2016, over 2,700 seniors marched at 35 schools from 12 cities across the country, the vast majority on the same day and local Post Offices supported their mailing effort.
