Congratulations to these students committing to colleges on the first National Sports Signing Day of the 2026-2027 school year.
Montini Catholic High School in Lombard proudly congratulated five senior Broncos on their commitments to continue their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level. These student-athletes were recognized during a special National Sports Signing Day celebration held on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at Montini.

"We are incredibly proud of them and look forward to watching them compete and succeed at the next level."
