Six Cardinals Sign National Letters of Intent
November 13, 2024
On November 13, 2024, six amazing athletes signed their National Letters of Intent (NLI) to play sports in college, and it's a big deal!
Our Cardinals work hard in both school and sports. They manage both with a lot of effort and a positive attitude because they have a strong community supporting them. This helps them improve, showing off what they learned at John Paul II High School and helping them win in life!
Signing their letter of intent to play sports in college results from years of hard work. Some of our stars are Greer Chambless (Volleyball at Auburn), Samantha Ennin (Track and Field at Stanford), Clara Paynter (Basketball at West Point), Helen English (Lacrosse at Thomas More University), Carly Holman (Softball at the University of Texas—Dallas), and Abby Van Volkenburgh (Softball at Rider University). Their choices are exciting, and we encourage everyone at school to follow in their footsteps!
