(La Porte, IN) - La Porte High School has a new varsity girls’ volleyball head coach with a history of winning state championships.
Troy Campbell brought home six consecutive state titles beginning in 2004 when he was head coach of the girls’ varsity volleyball team at Marquette High School in Michigan City.
He also was the head coach of the women’s volleyball team at Concordia University in Chicago for nine season and spent nearly 20 years coaching at the Dunes Volleyball Club.
“Troy has spent his career building volleyball programs at every level, and what stood out to us throughout the search was his focus on developing players, not just winning matches. He has a clear vision for where he wants to take our program,” said LPHS Athletic Director Steve Santana.
The appointment approved Monday night by the school board is a homecoming of sorts.
Campbell served as a varsity assistant coach at La Porte High School early in his career and later spent nine years as an officer with the La Porte Police Department.
A Westville High School graduate, he helped his team win back-to-back state championships as a player and earning tournament MVP honors both years before playing collegiately at Indiana University/Purdue University at Ft. Wayne.
