BOURNE— Superintendent Kerri Quinlan-Zhou and Principal Lisa Maguire are pleased to announce that the Bourne High School girls volleyball team has earned the 2024 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award.

The AVCA Team Academic Award is distributed to collegiate and high school varsity volleyball programs whose members maintain a year-long grade-point average of at least 3.3 on a 4.0 scale (or 4.1 on a 5.0 scale) during the recently completed academic year. This award demonstrates each teammate's dedication to classroom excellence during the volleyball season.

The Bourne High School girls volleyball team also received the distinction of AVCA Team Academic Honor Roll, representing the top 20 percent of GPAs in their division.

The Bourne High School girls volleyball team for the 2023-24 school year is comprised of 12 members, sophomores Mackinley Scully, Lily Russell, Michaela Muldoon, Avery Morrill, Nola Timo and Sofia Halunen, juniors Hannah Petrillo, Tallulah Beane, Carley May and Reese Williams, and seniors Leah Barlow and Elena Timo.

“We are truly honored to receive this recognition, and this award serves as a testament to the support our faculty gives to our student-athletes to succeed both in the classroom and on the court," said Superintendent Quinlan-Zhou. “I extend my gratitude to the girls’ high school volleyball coach, David Moore, for motivating the team to strive for success and I commend our students for their ability to manage athletic and academic commitments.”

The award is sponsored by INTENT, a tech, information and internet company that aims to guide student-athletes and service members toward professional and personal success in life after sports and service.
