Collinsville High School Celebrates 2026 Academic Signing Day
Posted Date: 04/30/26 (02:16 PM)
This week began with one of the most exciting days of the school year for the Collinsville High School senior class: Academic Signing Day. It is the day their academic careers take a turn toward the future and the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice.
At Academic Signing Day, seniors who choose to participate publicly celebrate the school they have chosen for their post-high-school education and the related academic scholarships they have received. Surrounded by family, friends and faculty, they sign a commitment certificate and announce their future plans.
Next year, the CHS Class of 2026 will be learning as close to Collinsville as SWIC and SIUE, and as far away as UCLA. They will study engineering, the arts, healthcare, education, technology, business and more.
