Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
In 1918, a corps of high school administrators met to establish rules on age, amateurism, attendance and scholarship. The resulting action was the formation of the Oregon State High School Athletic Association.
In 1947, the name was changed to the Oregon School Activities Association to reflect the widening scope of activities, which included more than sports. Today, the OSAA sponsors 116 state championships for students competing in 19 interscholastic activities. We are a member of the National Federation of State High School Associations, NFHS.
