The South Lakes High School Varsity Volleyball Team has once again demonstrated excellence both on and off the court. For the second consecutive year, the Seahawks have been honored with the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award.
This national recognition is awarded annually to high school and collegiate varsity teams that achieve a minimum 3.3 GPA for the entire academic year. South Lakes not only met this standard but exceeded it, posting an impressive 3.61 GPA.
Adding to this accomplishment, South Lakes was also named to the AVCA Team Honor Roll, recognizing programs in the Top 20% of academic performance nationwide. Even more notable, South Lakes is one of only six high schools in Virginia to earn this distinction in 2024.
