Our mission is to foster a program where effort, attitude, and gratitude are the foundation of every practice, match, and interaction—on and off the court. 

Aligned with the vision of Santa Cruz City Schools, we strive to create a learning environment that challenges and enables our student-athletes to reach their highest potential. Not only as volleyball players, but also as leaders, teammates, and engaged members of the community. 

We believe that...

EFFORT is a choice we make daily. By showing up with commitment and working hard regardless of the scoreboard or outside distractions, we build resilience and confidence in ourselves and each other. 

A strong positive ATTITUDE fuels personal and team growth. We lead with a positive mindset, take ownership of our roles, and face challenges with perseverance and pride.

GRATITUDE keeps us grounded. We honor the opportunity to play this game, support one another, and represent our school with integrity and humility.

As a part of a school community that values equity, diversity, and safe spaces for all, we ensure our program is inclusive, respectful, and welcoming. We celebrate each player’s unique contributions and commit to treating all individuals with dignity and respect. 

The Santa Cruz High School Girls Volleyball Program strives to be more than just a team but a community built on shared goals, character, and care for one another.
