St. Margaret's Student-Athletes Commit to Top Universities During Spring Signing Period
Four student-athletes from the Class of 2024 will continue their academic and athletic careers at a range of prestigious colleges and universities.
St. Margaret's Episcopal School is proud to announce that four student-athletes from the Class of 2024 have committed to play intercollegiate athletics next year during the spring National Signing Day.
These student-athletes join 13 of their classmates who committed during the signing periods in the fall and winter.
"Our third and final college signing day for the 2023-2024 school year was a pleasure to host. These four athletes and the 13 that signed their college commitments earlier in the school year epitomize what it means to be a Tartan student-athlete," said St. Margaret's Director of Athletics Dan O'Shea. "Their hard work and determination in achieving their goals, coupled with resiliency through the recruiting process, should be widely admired. We look forward to following these future college athletes from afar and in the weeks ahead as our teams battle in the CIF playoffs."
