Last Spring Atlanta ISD hired Melissa Waddell to be the next Lady Rabbs Volleyball Coach. The move completes quite a journey for Coach Waddell who graduated from Atlanta High School in the class of 1995. From there she went on to college in Marshall at East Texas Baptist University (ETBU). Graduating from there in 1999, Melissa began a coaching career which has spanned 25 years. Now she returns to continue where she began with the Lady Rabbs. In addition, as she takes on the new job she will be inducted into the Atlanta Athletics Hall of Fame in a ceremony on October 11th prior to the Atlanta - Sabine football game kickoff. Along with Coach Ravon Justice, Coach Waddell will be a unique inductee by being still active in athletics.
