Congrats Ellie GO GET JETS

Congratulations! That's no easy accomplishment.

Will she play volleyball for the Falcons?

Amazing Ellie! Congrats!

Congratulations! That's no easy accomplishment.

Will she play volleyball for the Falcons?

No, and I do apologize if I misled. Ellie had some encouragement from her coaches about pursuing volleyball at the next level. They felt she could find a nice fit somewhere to keep playing, however she never had much interest. Her eyes have been on this prize for a while. Thank you for asking though.

In the long run, pursuing her dream is far more important. The athletics are a supplement and sometimes provide a path with scholarships. But the education is the PRIZE! Good luck to Ellie and again, Congratulations on your appointment!
