Wildcats Celebrate National Signing Day College Commits

Kimball Union Academy celebrated 15 student-athletes as part of National Signing Day on April 15 as they officially committed to continue their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level.
Representing six sports, these student-athletes will head to NCAA Division II and III institutions. Division I student-athletes committed to their respective schools at a signing day in November.

As a member of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) and the Lakes Region League, the Wildcats compete in 19 sports, with more than 70% of students earning at least one varsity letter each year. KUA’s commitment to excellence is reflected in the many graduates who continue their athletic careers at the collegiate and professional levels. 

“National Signing Day is a celebration of possibility realized and the powerful journeys that lead to this moment,” said Becca Main, the George Akerstrom Chair of Athletics. “Each signature represents years of commitment, resilience, and belief, not just in a sport, but in the pursuit of something greater. Our 15 signees have embraced every challenge along the way, supported one another, and risen to this achievement with pride. Today reflects their hard work, their growth, and the bright paths ahead.”
