Since 1947, the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) has made progress in organizing, supervising, and coordinating a state wide athletic program. Currently, the NHIAA has 89 member schools and awards 108 State Championships each year. The mission of the NHIAA, as the leader of high school athletics, is to ensure fair play in competition and equal opportunity in interscholastic programs. Winning is for a day, sportsmanship is for a lifetime.
