49 Katy ISD student-athletes have committed to collegiate programs across the country by signing letters of intent to continue their sports careers after high school.
Student Athletes Plan for After High School
Ahead of high school graduation, nearly half a hundred Katy ISD student athletes have signed letters of intent to continue their sports on an even bigger stage. Look to this number to grow as Katy athletes continue to ponder major decisions ahead of graduation.
Student athletes with district football, soccer, golf, swimming, softball, baseball volleyball and track and field programs have signed to continue their sport after high school graduation. Some of the schools where these Katy ISD students will see their future are ranked or NCAA programs.
"We are incredibly proud of our student-athletes for their hard work, dedication and commitment. Signing a college scholarship is a testament to their perseverance and passion, and we can't wait to see them thrive at the next level!" said Lance Carter, executive director of athletics in Katy ISD.
Congratulations to these student athletes.
