Did you know that among all high school athletes, only around 7% end up continuing in college? This is not an easy feat and is a huge accomplishment!
On Wednesday morning, 4/16, 15 athletes got together in the Almond library for their letter of intent signing. This is a
celebration of athletes signing into their college sport and starting a new chapter of their lives. It is a way to celebrate and recognize their achievements that resulted from their hard work and dedication to their sport throughout high school. Relatives and peers were invited and encouraged to come to show support for their beloved athletes.
