Our Community Salutes of Santa Clarita and the Kiwanis Club of Santa Clarita will host an enlistee recognition ceremony at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 17 at Golden Valley High School Theater, to honor the 2025 high school seniors and families who will serve in the U.S. armed services.

Since 2009, OCS – USA has conducted hundreds of recognition ceremonies nationwide, honoring tens of thousands new enlistees and 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. 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.” said Kenneth Hartman, OCS – USA Founder and President.

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 2025 high school enlistees who have made the selfless decision to serve the 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 Golden Valley High School Theater, which is located at 27051 Robert C. Lee Parkway, Saugus, CA 91350, will open for check-in at 1 p.m., followed by the commencement of the ceremony at 2 p.m.
