In the same tradition as athletic signing day, where athletes publicly accept college offers, Collinsville High School annually recognizes its college bound seniors with a signing event where they formally announce and commit to the college of their choice. This year’s event was held on April 23, 2018.
The students were joined in the library/media center by family, CHS faculty and college representatives as they announced their intentions for the next step in their academic journey.
This year’s participants accepted $1.3 million in academic scholarships. (*Note: This figure does not include private scholarships, athletic scholarships or students who did not participate in academic signing day.)
