2012-13 Classifications Announced
March 26, 2012
With the winter season finished just two days ago, we can look forward to spring -- and also 2012-13 and how some MHSAA tournaments will look a little different in the coming school year.
Check out this link to our news release on classification changes, including a list of schools moving up or down in classes and also a list of schools newly-eligible to compete in MHSAA tournaments.
Keep in mind, schools may still opt to play up a class, and classes are used only for volleyball and boys and girls basketball. All other sports are split into equal divisions, and those lists also are available today.
UPDATE Meeting Series in 40th Year
September 13, 2017

The MHSAA will conduct its 40th annual Update Meeting series in the coming weeks, and this year’s schedule will again offer in-service programming for athletic directors at six of the seven locations.
The Update series is annually attended by more than 800 school administrators. During the meetings, information about current MHSAA activities is disseminated, issues affecting interscholastic athletics are discussed, and attendees are surveyed on various topics.
Six luncheon meetings are scheduled in the Lower Peninsula, and a morning meeting is scheduled for Marquette in the Upper Peninsula. MHSAA Executive Director John E. "Jack" Roberts will address high school superintendents, principals, athletic directors and school board members on a variety of topics at these meetings. Update Meetings also provide school administrators an opportunity to ask questions and discuss any recent changes in the Association's rules and regulations.
This also will be the 15th year of Athletic Director In-Service programs conducted during morning-long sessions prior to most of the Update Meetings. These workshops are designed to help prepare those administrators for the rigors of their jobs, and with the Update Meetings offer those in attendance an opportunity to meet with administrators from neighboring school districts with whom they normally are not able to have day-to-day contact.
The meeting in Lansing on October 11 also will serve as the Annual Business Meeting for the MHSAA. The registration form for Athletic Director In-Service and Update Meetings is available on the MHSAA Website.
