Custom Next Level Athlete Recognition Boards for High Schools

SchoolPride® Next Level boards give schools a meaningful way to honor student athletes who have gone on to compete at the collegiate or professional level — while inspiring current athletes to chase the same dream. Seeing the names and faces of former teammates who made it is one of the most powerful motivators a coach can put on a wall. Every board is fully custom designed with your school colors, mascot, and the colors and logos of the colleges or professional organizations your athletes represent.

Acrylic — Our premium indoor option. Acrylic boards feature sub-surface printing, meaning all graphics are sandwiched beneath a protective layer — so students cannot scratch, pick at, or damage the design. Ideal for high-traffic hallways, trophy cases, and main lobby displays.

PVC — Our most economical indoor option. PVC delivers vibrant color and a clean, professional finish at a lower price point. 

Aluminum — Our most durable option and the only material suitable for outdoor use. Weather-resistant and built to last, aluminum boards work equally well indoors and outdoors.

Next Level boards can be manufactured in just about any style here at SchoolPride®. The most popular options are Easy Change, Easy Overlay, Pro-Series, and Nameplate.

Easy Change — Our most popular board style. Graphics are sandwiched between two layers of acrylic, creating a clean, professional look while protecting the underlying content from being scratched or tampered with. Updates slide in or out from the side of the board with the help of a Post-it note. Click here to visit the Easy Change Record Board page to learn more.

Easy Overlay — Our most cost-effective option. Graphics are printed directly onto a PVC or aluminum board. Updates are mailed with adhesive backing and overlaid over the existing content. PVC boards are for indoor use only. Aluminum boards can be used indoors or outdoors. Click here to visit the Easy Overlay Record Board page to learn more.

Pro-Series — SchoolPride's most premium board product. Completely custom built to your specifications with full control over every detail — materials, display style, size, and finish. Names and photos can be showcased using puck mounts, standoff mounts, plaques, die-cut shapes, acrylic panels, nameplate channels, and more. Click here to visit the Pro-Series Board page to learn more.

Nameplate (Bracket) — An athlete's name and information are printed onto styrene inserts that slide into a series of brackets on a PVC or aluminum backer board. Similar in concept to overlay boards, but the bracket system creates a more elevated look that is easier to update. PVC boards are for indoor use only. Aluminum boards can be used indoors or outdoors. Click here to visit the Nameplate Board page to learn more.

When a new athlete reaches the "Next Level," contact us with the athlete's name, the college or professional organization they will be playing for, and a photo if applicable. We will provide a proof and a quote for your update, then send it to you once everything is approved and finalized.

All School Pride board products come with drilled holes and installation hardware.  Decorative metal pucks can be requested at additional cost for a cleaner - more professional look.

Next Level Boards can be designed for both indoor and outdoor use.  Outdoor boards must be made of aluminum.

Because our products need to be professionally designed, they cannot be ordered online.  A free design and a full written quote are part of our process.
