Foundation Academy athletics had a great 2023-24 season in between the lines, but when it came to signing on the dotted line 23-24 was historic for the Lions, as the school had the most student-athletes sign National Letters of Intent to play collegiate sports.

Over various signing days, 10 Foundation student-athletes accepted college scholarships and set their course to continue their academic and athletic careers at the next level. 

“This milestone reflects not only their hard work, dedication, and talent but also the unwavering support and encouragement from our entire community,” said Denzel Irvin, Foundation’s director of collegiate recruiting. “Beyond their athletic prowess, these young men and women have demonstrated remarkable character, embodying the values we hold dear at Foundation Academy. It has truly been an honor to work with such great athletes who are even better people."

"We eagerly look forward to guiding and supporting the next class of hard-working athletes, the class of 2025, and beyond," he added. "The bar has been set high, but we are confident that with continued effort and dedication, our future athletes will rise to the challenge and reach new heights. To the parents and staff, your support and encouragement have been invaluable. Your role in nurturing and developing these young talents is deeply appreciated. Together, we will continue to create an environment where our student-athletes can thrive both on and off the field of play.”
