National Signing Day will occur in the main gym Nov. 14 during 8th period.

To honor student-athletes committing to colleges, the Lovejoy Athletic Department will recognize their accomplishments at the National Collegiate Athletic Organization (NCAA) signing on Nov. 14. 

“It is an honorary thing for us to recognize those who are intending to attend a school for, in this particular case, typically athletic purposes,” Vice Principal Bruce Coachman said.

The ceremony will take place in the main gym during 8th period. By signing, students are able to continue their academic studies while having the opportunity to continue their sports careers at a collegial level.

“It’s an incredible privilege to play for a college at any division,” senior Allie Bianchi said. “For me, it is an opportunity to become a greater version of myself and be surrounded by a coach and team that support me and make my college experience unforgettable.”

Students that will be recognized include Bianchi, Jake Chamberlin, Rebecca Holiman, Celeste Soliz, Michelle Foster, Liana Guillermaud, Madison Waters and Emma White.
