Director of Athletics Don Lang proudly announced that 12 North Shore High School senior athletes signed National Letters of Intent this spring.
A Letter of Intent is a binding agreement between a prospective student-athlete and an institution. Once signed, the institution agrees to provide that student with financial aid (if eligible under the NCAA rules) for one academic year in exchange for that student’s agreement to attend the institution for one academic year.
Additionally, all colleges and universities that participate in the National Letter of Intent program agree to not recruit these student-athletes once he or she signs the letter.
Congratulations go out to the following North Shore athletes who are featured with balloons and wearing clothing from the schools that they will be attending this fall:
