Signing Day Event Scheduled for Feb. 5 at Sprague Field House
DALLAS–The Dallas Independent School District Department of Athletics has scheduled its annual Meet the Signees event at noon Wednesday, Feb. 5, at the Sprague Field House (Boulder Drive and Gibbs Williams Road).
The signing day event is designed to recognize and introduce all DISD senior student athletes who have signed college scholarships for the 2003-2004 school year. This includes football, soccer, volleyball and basketball early period signees. It is anticipated that many of the school district's 21 high schools where field athletic programs are offered will have student athletes represented at the event, said Troy Mathieu, assistant superintendent of–Athletics.
"The National Letter of Intent Signing Day is a significant day for so many of our student athletes and their families," Mathieu said. "These student athletes have worked so hard academically and athletically in preparing for this day, that we want to make sure they are properly recognized for their accomplishments."
The signing day event, which began in 1999, is also open to the general public. For more information contact Mathieu at (972) 925-3312.
