FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contact Information: Kevin Saldivar, Athletic Director Presentation High School 408-264-1664 ext. 2498 [email protected] June 8, 2020 (San Jose, CA) – Presentation High School is excited to announce that Jacqui Dorman will be taking over as the new head coach of the Presentation Volleyball Program. Coach Dorman brings a great deal of knowledge and coaching experience to the Volleyball Program at Presentation High School. Prior to coaching at Presentation, Coach Dorman took over the American High School boys program, leading them to their first NCS appearance in six years. The American High program saw much success under Coach Dorman with numerous players earning all-league recognition and continuing their volleyball careers at the next level. She then moved to coaching at Branham, assisting a girls team that won their league championship and advanced to the CIF NorCal Tournament. Most recently, Coach Dorman was a part of the coaching staff at Archbishop Mitty assisting with both the girls and boys program. As a San Jose native, Coach Dorman attended and played volleyball at Archbishop Mitty High School. During her playing career she helped her teams achieve two CIF State Championships, two CCS Championships, two WCAL Championships and a National Championship. After her decorated high school career, Coach Dorman attended Cal State San Marcos and helped the Cougars win their conference championship in their inaugural season. Coach Dorman transferred to Humboldt State where she completed her volleyball career and then moved into coaching. Coach Dorman is excited to begin this fall and pass on her volleyball knowledge to the student-athletes at Presentation. “I hope I can continue the Presentation legacy through my previous knowledge and experience; not only as a previous WCAL Athlete but as a female student-athlete,” Coach Dorman said. “I want to continue a culture of developing strong women to be successful on the court but also in their future endeavors off the court. I am looking forward to continuing to create a culture where the athletes will feel a part of the Presentation family. One Team. One Community.” “The Presentation community is beyond excited to welcome Coach Dorman to the volleyball program and Presentation family,” said Athletic Director Kevin Saldivar. “Coach Dorman brings a history of success at the high school and college level and we are looking forward to the impact she will have on our volleyball program and student-athletes. She has a clear vision and understanding of what it takes to compete in the WCAL and beyond.” About Presentation Athletics Presentation has a long and storied athletic tradition of success.
