Thirteen student athletes at Aquinas High School made their college athletic dreams official during a signing ceremony at the Reinhart Athletic Complex, formalizing their commitments for the 2025-26 school year.
The ceremony celebrated athletes across multiple sports, with representatives from tennis, basketball, and water skiing among those putting pen to paper on their National Letters of Intent. The athletes were surrounded by friends and family as they took this significant step toward their collegiate careers.
Samantha Davis, who officially signed to play basketball at Boston College, said the ceremony highlighted the exceptional athletic talent at Aquinas High School.
“Yeah, I’m super excited. Obviously like going to Aquinas, like, there’s just so many athletes. And, you know, having, like, a lot of people signing here like, you don’t get that every single high school. So the class is very special on that aspect. And so I’m proud of everyone that got to sign here today. And, you know, I’m proud to see what every does at the next step,” Davis said.
