Scholar athletes celebrate ‘Signing Day’

Thanksgiving came early at Los Alamitos High School as it celebrated Signing Day, the day in which scholar athletes sign an intent to attend prestigious colleges and universities on scholarship for their academic and athletic accomplishments.

For the first time, Los Alamitos High School honored 19 scholar athletes (seen in picture with Principal Josh Arnold and Superintendent Sherry Kropp) for their amazing accomplishments.

This level of excellence is made possible because of the dedication of highly skilled teachers and coaches and the ongoing support of parents, families, and community members.
