TRUMBULL— St. Joseph High School, southern Connecticut’s premier college preparatory school, announced today the names of eleven additional student-athletes who signed National Letters of Intent or Celebratory Letters in eight different sports. In January 2021, the school hosted a signing ceremony for 12 athletes—bringing the school’s total for the 2020-2021 school year to 23 students playing at either the Division I, II, or III level in college.
The National Letter of Intent (NLI) is a document used to indicate a student’s commitment to participating in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) colleges and universities. The NLI is a binding agreement between a prospective student-athlete and an NLI member institution. The Celebratory Letter (for Division III athletes) indicates that a student has been accepted to and plans to attend an institution. On May 18, the following St. Joes Seniors were honored:
Nia Christie – Track & Field – Clemson University – Division I
Laci Lewis – Soccer – University of Connecticut – Division I

“We are so proud of the academic and athletic accomplishments of all our student-athletes,” remarked Kevin Butler, assistant principal for Athletics. “Their dedication, hard work and commitment both in the classroom and on the fields is a huge achievement. We wish them all the best next year in college and beyond.”
As part of their NLI, prospective student-athletes agree to attend the institution full-time for one academic year and the institution agrees to provide athletes financial aid for one academic year.
