Student-athletes announce plans on Lowcountry Signing Day 2023

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Wednesday marks National Signing Day around the country with high school athletes signing their National Letters of Intent to play their sports at the next level.

The Charleston County School District recognized 45 student-athletes set to take part in National Signing Day. Those students represent six district schools and a total of 10 sports.

Steve LaPrad, who was just reinstated as head football coach at Fort Dorchester High School after an abrupt resignation earlier this month, walked onto the stage at the school’s signing event to big applause.
