Students from West Hartford’s Hall High School made public their commitments to college athletics on May 21, 2025.

With family, friends, teammates, and coaches in attendance, 12 members of Hall High School’s Class of 2025 participated in a College Commitment Day on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, officially indicating their plans to continue their sports at the collegiate level.

In October 2024, the NCAA eliminated the National Letter of Intent, which in the past students would sign at this time of year accepting scholarships as their commitment to Division I or Division II sports. Students now accept offers of athletic aid, which are a combination of scholarship and financial aid monies. Students at Division I, II, and III are now permitted to earn money from through the NIL (name, image, and likeness) program.
