Minnetonka High School Celebrates 47 Student-Athlete College Commitments from the Class of 2024

On November 8, in the presence of family, friends, coaches and administrators, 25 Minnetonka High School senior student-athletes signed Letters of Intent (LOI) to play Division 1 and Division 2 college athletics.

“This is the largest group of signees we’ve had at a single signing,” said Ted Schultz, Minnetonka High School’s Student Activities Director. 

“What makes this remarkable is the class of 2024 is the same in competition as they are in the hallways – they are humble, work well with their classmates, and set a great culture of togetherness. This class as a whole does things the right way and treats people the right way, and in turn has had huge success athletically and academically.”

“We couldn’t be more proud,” said Schultz.

Four additional signees were added at the Winter signing event and 18 at the Spring signing on May 8.
