Class of 2020 Academic Signing Day
A few years ago, we began a tradition of recognizing our students for receiving academic scholarships for their intended colleges. This year, our “signing day” took place over a few days at our students’ homes. There are others who are still deciding which school will be their future home, and others who are waiting to hear from scholarship opportunities, but we are so proud of all our class of 2020! Be sure to check out the video!

Athletic Signing Days
We want to share a huge congratulations to our athletes who have signed to play ball in college next year! Judson Hogeland has signed to play football at Faulkner University next fall. He led the Rebels in tackles the last two seasons, including this year’s state championship run. Go Eagles! Earlier this year, Josh McMillon and Jacquez Bilbrew signed to trade out their Rebels jerseys for Dragons at Lane College (TN). We’d also like to congratulate Andy Poole, Garrett Mangione, and Mark Hubbard for signing to play baseball, and Bailey Welch for softball. We hate missing such a large part of their senior seasons, but we are excited to watch out for them in the future! Bailey Welch can be found in the Jaguars’ outfield at South Alabama. Garrett Mangione will attend and play for Shelton State Community College. Andy Poole will be playing at Miles College next spring. Go Bears!…
