The purpose of the UHSAA shall be to administer and supervise interscholastic activities among its member schools according to the Associations Constitution and By-Laws.
Knowing that student activities are a significant educational force in the development of skills needed to become contributing members of society, the UHSAA reaffirms that students are the focus and reason for the Association. As such, the Association will provide opportunities that:
· Promote sportsmanship and safe competition through standardized eligibility rules.
· Provide interscholastic sports, music, drama, and speech
· Create learning laboratories where practical life-situations, teamwork, sportsmanship, winning and losing, hard work, leadership, and cooperation are taught.
· Nurture self-realization and build self-confidence.
· Promote, through participation, higher academic achievement, better attendance, lower drop-out rates, and positive citizenship.
National Federation of State High School Associations
The mission of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) is to serve its members and its related professional groups by providing leadership and national coordination for the administration of interscholastic activities which will enhance the educational experiences of high school students and reduce risks of their participation.
The NFHS will promote participation and sportsmanship to develop good citizens through interscholastic activities which provide equitable opportunities, positive recognition and learning experiences to students while maximizing the achievement of educational goals. |
