Why Shorter?
"I have been in love with Shorter since I first met the coaches and toured the campus while still in high school. I love the comfortable size of the campus and the warm and genuine care that the teachers and staff are always so quick to provide. I also love the enthusiasm and friendliness of my entire volleyball team and coaches. "
