THE NATIONAL FEDERATIONrespect/discipline and thinking independently while having acommitment to group or collective goals which go beyond winning.These are the values that reflect the educational curriculum ofinterscholastic activities. In its developmental stages, as today, thecentral commitment of the NFHS is to support and enhance at thenational level the interaction between and among the member stateassociations in their efforts to administer and direct participation oftheir respective member schools in activities programs.The NFHS is dedicated to the continued development andmaintenance, through common agreement of its members, of standardsfor participant eligibility, rules and conditions for the administration ofcontests. In deference to the standards, rules and conditions, the NFHSmembership is committed to enhance and stimulate interest in andthereby involve and provide greater access to increasing numbers ofstudents for participation in activities.Participation in interscholastic activities is accorded to studentswho meet essential standards of eligibility adopted collectively by stateassociation member schools and additional standards as may be adoptedby individual schools for their respective student participants. TheNFHS membership is dedicated to development and implementation ofstandards, policies and regulations essential to assist member schools inthe furthering of their educational philosophy of interscholasticactivities. Toward this end, the membership is pledged to keep schoolsponsored contests in perspective as a part of the total educationalprogram at the local, conference, district and state levels.The NFHS believes it is imperative to maintain articulation andcooperative relationships with other educational and/or non-schoolorganizations involved in amateur athletics or with interests in highschool activities programs. These relationships are mutually beneficial toall organizations involved and the individual participants as a means ofpreserving the integrity of the programs and the amateur status ofparticipants. It is the position of the NFHS that activities are forenjoyment, recreation, entertainment, the promotion of healthylifestyles, sports for the sake of sports and opportunities for greaterfulfillment of interests and aptitudes of youth.The NFHS continues to make efforts for the continuingassessment, review and evaluation of current parameters and practicesutilized in programs to improve the quality of and make more accessiblea range of activities to challenge the interests and abilities of studentparticipants.The overriding commitment of the NFHS membership is thehealth, welfare and moral growth of students who participate directlyand indirectly in high school activities programs. This commitment isbeing achieved through a continuing, unified effort of the NFHSmembership to maintain the highest ideals of fair play, ethical behaviorand responsible citizenship in a democratic society.One of the primary missions of the school-college community is toteach participants essential skills that will provide for a lifetime ofcontributions to their community. Sports and fine arts activities areconduits through which people feel part of the community and thus canbe effective vehicles for promoting citizenship in this country.Further, sports and fine arts activities provide not only theopportunity to teach and learn respect for self and respect of others, butcan also place participants in a unique context — competition — thatcan further instill values necessary for the development of respect orself and others.In addition to these inherent benefits enjoyed throughparticipation in athletic and fine arts programs, high school students canlearn the meaning of good citizenship, and can carry those lessons withthem throughout their entire lives.The National Federation of State High SchoolAssociations (NFHS) is an organization of 51autonomous state high school athletic and/or activityassociations and the association of the District ofColumbia. Additionally, interscholastic associationsof the Canadian Provinces Alberta, British Columbia,Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario andQuebec are affiliated with the NFHS as areassociations from St. Croix, Guam, St. Thomas-St. Johns, and theBahamas. Other affiliates are forensic associations of Michigan andWisconsin, and music associations of Wisconsin and Florida.Collectively, the associations, through their common commitmentto high school athletic/activity programs form the NFHS. Theseorganizations have established the NFHS as a means of maintainingcooperative, reciprocal relationships among all of the memberassociations. As the mechanism for maintaining these relationships, theNFHS provides a common forum for administering high schoolactivities, through a democratic governance process, by all who directthese programs.Through its national office in Indianapolis, the NFHS hasestablished an administrative entity to coordinate and support thefunctions of the organization. The administrative office is a convenorof a large number of meetings and committees for the promulgation ofrules, publisher of extensive media materials to support the operationsof the organization, and is a resource for and a repository ofinformation/data on high school athletic/activity programs.As stipulated in the NFHS Constitution, the legislative body of theorganization is the National Council (executive directors of the memberstate associations), which annually elects a specified number ofmembers to staggered terms on the Board of Directors, theadministrative entity which conducts the business and day-to-dayoperations of the organization through the executive director andadministrative staff.The NFHS is committed to diversity and inclusiveness in theadministration of the organization. This commitment is achieved byproviding opportunity for any National Council member to serve on theBoard of Directors.NFHS Statement of PhilosophySports and performing arts have always been part of theeducational process of youth.In the United States, such activities were organized at the collegiateand secondary school levels in the early 1900’s. In the 1920’s, a smallnumber of state high school athletic associations organized themselvesand grew in numbers to evolve into a national entity which became theNational Federation of State High School Associations.The NFHS, the voice of interscholastic activities, is committed tothe belief that interscholastic activities are basic to sound educationalprinciples of secondary education. Activities are a social force whichteach values/achievement for physical, psychological and emotionalgrowth in the education environment.Participation in activities reinforces responsible social processes.Educational experiences gained through activity programs areopportunities to learn, promote and reinforce the elements thatinfluence students to become productive citizens in a democraticsociety. Productive citizenship may be demonstrated through acceptingresponsibility, self-worth, sportsmanship, integrity, fairness, optimism,self-sacrifice — placing the welfare of others ahead of self, acceptanceof others regardless of abilities or background, dignity, self-2
