Ward Melville High School student-athletes are one step closer to realizing their athletic dreams this December as 15 seniors signed national letters of intent with a variety of division I and II colleges and universities. Additionally, three students committed to play on the athletic teams of three division III schools and one student will be joining a service academy’s volleyball program.
“The time and effort that these students have put into not only their studies but also their chosen sport is truly commendable,” stated district executive director of health, physical education, recreation and athletics Erin Blaney. “As educators and parents, we are extremely proud of everything they have accomplished during their time in the district and look forward to hearing about the wonderful things yet to come for each of these patriots.”
The district extends its congratulations to the following students and wishes them luck at their respective schools:
