Below is a list of Missouri state high school girls volleyball championships sanctioned by the Missouri State High School Activities Association since the organization began holding the tournaments in 1975.
Championships
- Strafford forfeited its participation in the 2007-2008 MSHSAA State Volleyball Championships due to the use of an ineligible player. St. Mary's <small>(Independence)</small>), which lost to Strafford 25âÂÂ23, 25-12 for third place on the court, is officially recognized as the third-place finisher, and the fourth-place position is hereby recognized as historically vacant.
- MSHSAA implemented the best-of-five format during the 2020âÂÂ2021 season; prior to this, it was best-of-three. MSHSAA also added another class (Class 5) the same season. During the same 2020âÂÂ2021 season, some championship teams' records above are lower than normal; this is due to an unusually high number of games and tournaments that had to be canceled during the regular season due to the coronavirus global pandemic.
Number of State Championships By School
The following table lists the number of championships (first-place finishes) that each school has won in the MSHSAA state tournament. (Updated to reflect the most recent 2025âÂÂ2026 season results.)
Number of District Championships By School
The following table lists the number of district championship titles (first-place finishes) that each school has won since the MSHSAA was formed.
The numbers are current and have been updated to reflect the most recent district titles from the ongoing 2025âÂÂ2026 season. (Updated October 29, 2025).
During the most recent 2025-2026 season, Hermann and Incarnate Word Academy tied Santa Fe for the most district championships won by a high school in the state of Missouri (39). Santa Fe fell short of clinching its 40th district title and simultaneously retaining its status as the sole top high school with the most district volleyball championships when it lost to Crest Ridge in the Class 1 District 14 Tournament championship match on October 23, 2025.
NOTES
- Italicized indicates schools that have closed and are no longer in existence.
- One of Strafford's district titles was revoked after the school allowed an ineligible player to participate in the state tournament.
- Trinity Catholic High School's cumulative total (9) includes the district titles won by Rosary High School (3), Mercy High School (1), and St. Thomas Aquinas High School (1). These latter three schools were separate teams until they consolidated to form the current Trinity Catholic High School, which had won four district titles in its own right before the merger.
- Joplin High School's cumulative total (9) includes the two district titles won by Parkwood High School, which closed and merged with the modern-day Joplin High School, which has won seven district titles in its own right before the merger.
- Tarkio and Fairfax merged as a team during the 2021âÂÂ2022, 2022âÂÂ2023, and 2023âÂÂ2024 seasons due to an insufficient number of players to field a team at each school. The district championships for those seasons are included in both schoolsâ separate counts.
- Living Word (O'Fallon) Christian changed its school name to Veritas Christian Academy during the 2024âÂÂ2025 school year. Two of the school's three district championships were won before the school changed its name to its current name.
- College Heights Christian School (Joplin) changed its school name to New Heights Christian Academy during the 2025-2026 school year. Six of the seven district championships were won before the school changed its name to New Heights Christian Academy.
