It was a great opportunity to not only welcome back friends from many years ago but to also help our current students better understand how our school has survived and thrived over many years. This was never more evident than on the evening of Homecoming as the Class of 1945 celebrated its 70th reunion at Biaggi’s in Bloomington. I had the pleasure of joining the group, and while we were at dinner, we found ourselves seated just a few feet away from a group of the Class of 2019 having dinner before the Homecoming dance. The Class of ’19 asked to take a picture with the Class of ’45, and it certainly made for a very special moment. Only at U-High does this happen, as these two spe- cial groups formed a link from past to present and helped me remember that being a Pioneer is a bond that cannot be broken.

  • Ogonna Nnamani Silva
    The AVCA History Commission was formed as a subgroup to the AVCA Diversity Development Team on December 1, 2020. The History Commission’s purpose is to recognize, amplify, and celebrate the rich and diverse history of the sport of volleyball. The first phase of the Commission’s work will explore the contributions of Black Americans to the sport of volleyball. Phase 1 is timed to coincide with the 40th Anniversary of the founding of the American Volleyball Coaches Association. PHASe 1 | Vol. 1.14 Ogonna Nnamani silva Ogonna Nnamani silva Born in Bloomington, Illinois, Ogonna Nneka Nnamani prepped at University High School where she excelled as a scholar and two-sport athlete in volleyball and basketball. U-High would win back-to-back Class A state girls’ volleyball championships in 1999 and 2000 compiling a record 78-6 over those two seasons. Named the Gatorade National Player of the Year as a senior, Ogonna was widely considered the top high school prospect for her class and was recruited by the top women’s volleyball programs in the country. Ultimately, Ogonna chose to continue her academic and athletic pursuits at Stanford University playing for 2011 AVCA Hall of Fame inductee Coach John Dunning. As the top incoming freshman in women’s college volleyball, her impact on the Stanford program was immediate. The Cardinal squad would end the 2001 season with a national championship match sweep over Long Beach State and finish the year at 33-2. With 19 kills against LBSU, Nnamani would wrap up her freshman campaign as an AVCA All-American, Pac-10 and Volleyball Magazine Freshman of the Year, as well as earn a spot on the NCAA All-Tournament Team for her performance in the championship match.
