Lady Greyhounds volleyball team gets it done in the classroom

Members of the Boerne High volleyball program can serve up aces on the court and are also aces in the classroom.

Because of their performance off the court – specifically in the classroom – the Lady Greyhounds volleyball program recently received an academic award from the American Volleyball Coaches Association for their cumulative grade-point average.

Boerne High earned the 2025 AVCA Team Academic Award after their varsity members maintained a yearlong grade-point average of at least a 3.3 on a 4.0 scale this past school year.

Lady Greyhounds head coach Staci Lawrence said the girls on the team know how to juggle their schedules.

“I’m beyond proud of the 2024-25 varsity team for receiving this academic award. This group of girls was exemplary in their ability to manage academics, athletics and jobs,” she said. “Many of the girls in our program have a rigorous academic schedule with multiple Advanced Placement or college level classes. Their drive and determination to succeed in multiple facets of life are what will help them be wellrounded student-athletes and community members once they leave our program.”

Only 1,450 college and high school volleyball teams – male and female – from around the country met the criteria to earn the award. Of the 1,450 honored, 534 were girls teams and only 52 were from Texas.
