A milemarker: Signing day 2026
As the Jaguars that are committed to colleges and universities for athletics prepare to depart from Pembroke Pines Charter High School, they signed their letters of intent on Thursday, April 30, in the River of Grass auditorium. After four years in the same school, playing the same sport, with the same people, this day recognizes the athletes and the milestone that they have achieved. The long, sweaty practices that no one sees; the five o’clock alarms to wake up for games on the weekends; and the lifelong bonds that they have made with teammates are now just a memory. Here is where these Jaguars committed.
After playing for the Lady Jags soccer program since eighth grade, accumulating to five years, Casanova led her team as the goalie. Being the captain her senior year, she brought her team to the regional finals as they also ended their season with a final record of 14-3-2, being ranked #32 in the nation and #18 in Florida. This season, she held a career high of 102 saves out of her total high school amount of 178.
Being the Jaguars’ varsity goalie for two years, Valencia assisted them to states both times. This season, he led his team to the state championship, which is the final game for the state title. He also helped his team end their season with a final record of 12-6-3, and being ranked #75 in the state of Florida. This season, he accumulated a total of 13 saves in the playoffs, which helped him make the first team all-county for the 2025-26 school year.
Playing on varsity for the Jaguars soccer team since his freshman year as a midfielder, Calderon made sure to leave his mark at Charter as a starter for three of those four years. This season, he scored 11 goals, a career high out of his total 19 goals. He was selected for the BCAA All-Star Classic and also made the all-county first team.
After four years in the Jaguars basketball program, and three out of the four on varsity as a forward, Guishard led his team to several state championships throughout his career, which were in 2024 and 2026. As a captain for the team in 2026, he assisted the Jaguars to the state title and their final record of 22-6. Guishard also made the all-state team and all-county first team while averaging almost 13 points per game this season.
“A couple of my favorite moments as a Jaguar are winning a state championship, winning a district championship last year, and winning a regional championship this year.”
Being on the Jaguars basketball team for three out of his four years of high school, Hughes has been a starter for two of them as a guard. Assisting his team to the state championship this season, he made sure to leave his mark as he scored 103 points this season, his high school career total being 440.
As a two year varsity guard for the Jaguars, Daniels scored a total of 50 points this season as he assisted the Jaguars to the state championship. He believed ending his senior year with a state championship as a Jaguar was the perfect end.
“Some of my favorite memories as a Jaguar were my first game of the season, when I had 17 points in front of the whole school [at home], and when we won the state championship; seeing all of the hard work we put in as a team come to fruition really meant a lot to me.”
Being on the Jaguars varsity baseball team for four years and starting three of them, Jaworski has made sure to leave his mark at Charter. Being named the team’s Most Valuable Player and Pitcher of the Year several years in a row, he has made Jaguar history. Playing both sides of the field, batting and pitching, he batted 0.319 and had a 1.31 era. Jaworski also was named all county first team for the 2025-26 school year.
