Ever wonder how the NFHS got its start writing high school playing rules?
Back in 1932, the NFHS developed its own football code which focused on the health and safety of high school student athletes.
Today, we write the rules for 18 HS sports across the country!

Participating in high school activities encourages EXCELLENCE on the field AND in the classroom.
Student participants tend to have higher grade-point averages, better attendance records, lower dropout rates and fewer discipline problems!

"Mental health is health."
A great reminder for all administrators, directors, coaches & trainers- check in on your students!!
#WeSeeYou
Mental health is health. PERIOD.
If we care about our bodies, we should care about our minds too.
Both deserve care.
Both deserve attention.
Both deserve treatment.
NO stigma. NO shame.

Negativity. Immaturity. Aggressive behavior.
When high school athletic events are canceled because of bad fan behavior, everyone loses.
ESPECIALLY our students.
Let’s #BenchBadBehavior and preserve civility in our schools! benchbadbehavior.com/posts/2…
High school sports are a place where EVERY student can participate.
Where EVERY student can be part of the team.
Where EVERY student feels a sense of belonging.
Join us in celebrating INCLUSION all month long! #PlayPerformCompeteTogether playperformcompetetogether.c…
