Hannah Sexton has been named the next girls volleyball coach at Dr. Phillips High, the school announced via a post on social media.

The Houston native found her way to Orlando following graduation in 2022 from the University of Houston in pursuit of a career in graphic design and marketing. Prior to beginning her career as a volleyball coach in 2021, she spent five years working as a sports and lifestyle photographer and social media manager.

A lifelong volleyball player, Sexton has more than 15 years of combined playing and coaching experience. She began as a private coach in the Houston area before joining the staff at Winter Park Volleyball Club. She serves as the club’s social media and marketing manager and is entering her third season as a coach for WPVC.

This will be her first high school head-coaching position.
