A Letter From The Commissioner

(
The Indiana High School Athletic Association celebrates the opportunity to participate in
the lives of young Hoosiers through the provision of education-based athletics through our
(
member schools. It is our belief that through involvement in these activities, the future
leaders of our society will be shaped. (
Currently in Indiana, over 160,000 students from 408 different IHSAA member schools f
participate in high school athletics. While the thrill of donning the colors or the local school
is both honorable and exciting, the educational experience gained from this participation is f
paramount. There are many concepts to be learned through education-based athletics such
as, self-discipline, the value of teamwork, the importance of dedication and commitment. t
Whether it's the ability to deal with success or persevere through great adversity, the critical (
lessons learned here will last a lifetime.
(
For an organization such as ours, integrity is of primary importance. An uncompromising
adherence to the principles of fair play and impartiality form the core of our value system. (
Pure, wholesome, amateur, educational, inexpensive, local high school athletics has always
(
been the objective. It is what we mean when we say ... Pure Spirit. Pure Sport!
(
Your IHSAA staff is thankful for the opportunity to serve our member schools and provide
the quality of services that each of you have come to expect. (
On behalf of the entire IHSAA family, we spread our best wishes and trust you are looking
forward to the 2015-16 school year with the same expectancy and enthusiasm as the IHSAA
staff and Board of Directors.
Cordially,
(

f
Bobby Cox
Commissioner
