'Thank You' from MHSAA on this National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Day

December 14, 2023

On behalf of the MHSAA and the Michigan Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (MIAAA), please join us in celebrating National Interscholastic Athletic Administrator’s Day.

The MHSAA and MIAAA are committed to providing quality experiences and opportunities for growth, leadership, and the development of young people through sport. This would not be possible without the work of your athletic administrators, directors, coordinators and support staff.

Our simple ask is that you reach out, recognize and thank those individuals in your school district who impact kids every day through athletics.

THANK YOU from the MHSAA to all of those leaders who make school sports in our state go.
