Signing day is an exciting time for high school seniors for sure, and it’s a coming-of-age moment for a school like San Juan Hills High.

“We are still a fairly young school. We’ve only had about four or five years of varsity competition. So it’s quite a thing to see our kids go on to succeed and achieve,” said San Juan Hills Principal Tom Ressler.

San Juan Hills had six student athletes sign on to compete at a collegiate level – five of them girls. And three of those girls are all on the same team: volleyball.
