The long-standing tradition of the College Athletes Signing in spring began in 2010. This year it took place on February 5th, 2025. Friends and family of the students signing were invited to Cypress High School’s basketball gym to celebrate the six students signing their letters of intent and moving on to the next stage of their sports careers. 

Mr. Mark Slevcove, one of two of the sports directors, acted as the announcer for the event and extended his praise to the students. The event was also live-streamed by the broadcasting students, and the culinary students provided snacks. 

According to Slevcove, many of the students signed beforehand and the event wasn’t the actual signing, but more of a representation and celebration of their signing.

While it used to be the day they would sign the actual pledge over the years the scheduling changed and led to some signing before and some the day of. One of the students, Delaney Faus, said “I signed before, in November…I liked the location and the coaches.” 

The athletes who were honored are: Delaney Faus, a softball player who will be attending San Jose State. Aiden Franco is a baseball player who will be attending Azusa Pacific University. Jackson Kesserman is a water polo player who will be attending Wheaton College Massachusetts. Vince Partington is a wrestler who will be attending Vanguard University. Wyatt Rosales is a baseball player who will be attending Western Oregon University. Naya Taylor is a softball player who will be attending Utah Tech University.
