Georgia Highlands College (GHC) has announced a significant expansion of its athletics program, introducing women’s cross country, volleyball, and flag football as officially sanctioned NJCAA sports. The move underscores GHC’s commitment to providing more opportunities for female student-athletes. The expansion kicks off this fall with the launch of the women’s cross country team. The runners will train and compete on GHC’s renowned course located at the Floyd Campus. Following cross country, women’s volleyball will be added as a full varsity NJCAA sport in the 2025-2026 academic year. The team is slated to compete in a 25-game schedule. GHC has initiated a national search to find the program’s inaugural head coach, setting the stage for a successful debut at the “Three Rivers Volleyball Classic” in August 2025. The final addition to the program will be women’s flag football, which is scheduled to launch in the Fall of 2026. This expansion further solidifies Georgia Highlands College’s dedication to enriching the athletic experiences of its students. This commitment has been something the college has invested in for many years and is now excited to see it come to fruition.
