National Signing Day is an annual event here at Parkway Central every year on February 6, where we recognize all athletes that have already committed or are committing on signing day itself. Each athlete has friends and/or family come and join them at the table, while their coach gives a quick little speech. Each athlete finishes their time by signing their letter of intent. This year we had 13 athletes commit, across a wide variety of sports, and to a multitude of colleges.
