A Letter From The Com1nissioner

The Indiana High School Athletic Association, Inc. is honored to provide support and
guidance to our 410 member schools in their offerings of education-based athletics to

communities across our great state.
(
The educational knowledge gained through participation in interscholastic athletics is
both critical and unique. Lessons or self~discipline, teamwork, tolerance, dedication,
sportsmanship and work ethic are all values acquired through participation in education-
based athletics. These attributes along with the understanding that victory is not final and
that defeat is not fatal allows our young people to acquire valuable life lessons which arc
applicable in the real world.

Integrity is a characteristic that is most important to the TI-lSJ\A. An uncompromising
adherence to the principles of fair play, impartiality and good sportsmanship are at the
center of our core values. Our objectives have remained constant for over a century
and take residence in the promotion of wholesome, amateur interscholastic athletic (
opportunities for the snident-athlctes of our member schools. lt is why we promote the (
I I-ISAA as Pure Spirit, Pure Sport, Pure Indiana.
