We are proud to announce the 13th Annual 2019 PrepVolleyball.com High School Academic All-American list, an honor bestowed upon the brightest high school volleyball players across the country.

Here’s a little how we made this list: After high school season commenced in the fall, we asked coaches to nominate those players who were brilliant on the volleyball court and in the classroom. To be considered for this honor, players must have been nominated, unlike in many performance-based awards, which can sometimes be determined by using lists and statistics alone. We needed to know more about the student-athlete as a whole, so high school or club coaches must have submitted a player with her specific academic information.

This list is not affiliated with, and should not be confused with, the CoSIDA Academic All-America Awards, which is presented annually to top collegiate students. It is also a list based purely on one's high school achievements, particularly as a senior.

We are pleased to honor the athletes listed here, who possess exceptional talents on the volleyball court, have earned top marks in the classroom, and give their time in their communities and in extracurricular activities. The number of meaningful activities, success in volleyball, and the academic accolades these student athletes have achieved is astounding!

PrepVolleyball.com’s 2019 Academic All-Americans are presented in five teams of eight, with the addition of a “Highest Honorable Mention” category with many others to total 54 players. Each team consists loosely of four or five attackers, one or two setters, and one or two defensive players.

In deciding who would be placed on each team and who would receive Highest HM recognition, we admit that it is difficult to distinguish one student athlete’s academic and extra-curricular proficiency from another – they’re all so impressive! No nominated player was omitted from consideration so long as she met the minimum qualifications for recognition.

Below are our 2019 Academic All-Americans. Congratulations to all - those listed below are truly inspiring!
