Thirty-seven Germantown Academy student-athletes who will play their sport in college were honored at the annual Senior Signing Ceremony in the Korman Family Pavilion.
On hand to congratulate GA's seniors and wish them well next year were GA coaches, parents, siblings, friends, Head of School Rich Schellhas 1760, and Director of Athletics Tim Ginter.
"Our spring college signing event is one of my favorite nights of the year," Ginter said. "This event is the culmination of years of hard work, both in the classroom and on the playing fields, courts, and in the pool. I am always so proud to watch our student-athletes and their families, friends, and coaches celebrate years of commitment to their sport. I consider it an honor to have watched them compete at GA, and we wish nothing but success as they continue their sports journey at the next level."
