Morgan Pullum Named Head Volleyball Coach at Model High School

Morgan Pullum has been named head girls’ volleyball coach at Model High School for the 2026-2027 school year. A standout athlete and experienced educator, Pullum is a 2014 graduate of West End High School in Walnut Grove, Alabama, and a 2018 graduate of Shorter University.

Volleyball has been a driving force in Coach Pullum’s life since her time as a multi-sport star in high school, where she earned All-State honors in volleyball, basketball, and softball. She took her talents to the collegiate level at Shorter University, playing as a six-rotation outside hitter. During her career at Shorter, she was a key member of the 2014 GSC Regular Season Conference Championship team. She contributed to the historic 2016 season, which saw the team go 22-7 and finish with an undefeated home record.

Coach Pullum comes to Model after serving the last eight years at Pepperell Middle School. She will join the Model faculty this fall as an 8th-grade Social Studies teacher. Her coaching background includes three years at the middle school level and five years at the high school level, during which she was twice named Area Coach of the Year.

“I am truly excited to join Model Volleyball and to be part of such a dynamic program,” Pullum said. “I look forward to supporting each player’s individual growth while also helping the team seize new heights together.”

Beyond the court and classroom, Coach Pullum is a dedicated member of the community. She has been married to her husband, Tyler Pullum, for six years; Tyler will begin serving as an Assistant Principal at Pepperell Middle School this August. They have a two-year-old son, Callahan.

The Model faMily is excited to welcome Coach Pullum as she begins this next chapter with the Lady Devils.
