Parrish played volleyball for four years at Vandalia High School and has played club volleyball for eight years.
Parrish, who will pursue a degree in environmental biology, is the daughter of Pamella and Gregory Parrish of rural Vandalia.
She will continue her volleyball career as an outside hitter at Franklin College for coach Mary Helak.
