• ST. LOUIS, MO. February 6, 2013 – Today, 19 student-athletes from five District high schools have signed their official Letters of Intent to play college football as part of National Signing Day.

     

    National Signing Day, often held the first Wednesday in February, is the first day that a high school senior can sign a binding National Letter of Intent for college football.  In order to sign a Letter of Intent, SLPS student athletes must exhibit strong athletic abilities on the field and meet District academic requirements for graduation before then applying and accepting admittance to the college that they have selected to represent on the field.
