"The National Letter of Intent Signing Day marks the beginning of an important phase in the life of many Dallas ISD student athletes who have worked so hard, both academically and athletically, to reach the goal of obtaining a scholarship to pursue a college career," said Athletic Director Jeff Johnson. "The district's athletic programs have not only prepared our students to succeed in different sports, but have also helped them to graduate ready for college."
Many of Dallas ISD's 22 high schools which field athletic programs will have athletes represented at the signing day event, which began in the district in 1999. The event is open to the public.
