The MINNESOTA STATE HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE The League sponsors one of the most comprehensive programs of interscholastic high school activities in the United States — activities that involved 499 member schools and about 200,000 students during the 2006-2007 school year. It is a voluntary, nonprofit, self-supporting organization made up of Minnesota senior high schools. It is administered by a small staff and a board of directors of 20 persons. The League plays a key role in nearly every nonacademic interschool contest or activity in the state. Its scope includes all boys’ and girls’ athletics, plus debate, music, one act play, speech, and visual arts. It covers not just the activities themselves, but instructional clinics and other related programs dealing with nonacademic interscholastic activities. The purpose of the League is to provide, at a statewide level, programs of varied, healthful, character-building activities within a framework of regulations and supervision that fosters good sportsmanship and fair play for every participant, regardless of the size of the school or the student's race, color, or creed. To achieve this aim, the schools democratically elect representatives who legislate standards and regulations for eligibility, participation, and supervision. Through such regulations, it encourages scholarship and leadership, safeguards the physical health and safety of participants, keeps achievement awards on a sensible basis and seeks to prevent exploitation of students by special interest groups. In short, its whole purpose and work are for the betterment and protection of youth. The school patrons in the state of Minnesota can take justifiable pride in the League. While all of the states and many Canadian provinces have similar organizations, the Minnesota organization is generally recognized as one of the best and has actually served as a model and is often called upon to help other states with their programs. In summary, the Minnesota State High School League represents excellence in purpose and performance.
