The Dallastown Athletic Department recognized six athletes who committed to pursue their athletic and academic careers at the collegiate level on Wednesday, December 12. 

This is Dallastown’s first athletic signing day for the 2020-2021 academic year. It was originally scheduled for November 19 but had to be rescheduled due to the two week school closure prior to Thanksgiving due to COVID. 

Signing days are held three times each year to recognize the accomplishments of Dallastown athletes who have been offered college scholarships and to sign their National Letters of Intent (NOI).

The NOI officially binds the student-athletes to their colleges and universities for their next four years in education and athletics. 

The athletes who signed this fall are as follows:

“I think the things that I’m most excited for going to college is all the new opportunities that I’m going to have,  to experience things, and push myself to become both a better person and volleyball player, and something I’m going to miss about Dallastown is definitely going to be all of the relationships that I’ve made during my time here and the safety of knowing what’s next.
