FHSD National Signing Day

FHSD National Signing Day

Wednesday, February 1, 2017 is National Signing Day, the first day that a high school senior can sign a binding National Letter of Intent (NLI) to play NCAA football. In the Francis Howell School District (FHSD), it is a day to honor the student-athletes in all sports as they prepare for the next step in their academic and athletic careers. Signing a NLI is all about commitment – the future commitment to play a sport at the collegiate level, as well as the past commitment that has provided this opportunity for high school students.

At Francis Howell High School (FHHS), 20 student-athletes took part in the National Signing Day celebration. “It’s something that starts when you’re a little kid, you have those dreams and aspirations of playing at the college level, and today is that culminating event,” said FHHS Activities Director Sean Erwin. “All of these student-athletes have both that academic and athletic piece; these 20 students have a cumulative GPA of 3.63.”

Senior Bridget Schulte will play golf next year for Missouri State University. She says signing is the culmination of a lot of hard work. “A lot of practice, a lot of work over the summer, playing in tournaments, getting ready to get out there and show colleges what you can do. So it takes a lot of time, but it’s fun and definitely worth it at the end of the process.”

Congratulations to all of the FHHS students that will be competing next year at the college level:
