The Georgia High School Association
is a voluntary organization
composed of over 450 public
and private high schools.
The GHSA operates under a
constitution and by-laws which
outlines the scope and purpose
of the Association. It contains the
standards of eligibility to be met
by high school pupils for attaining
the privilege of participation in
interschool contests, and rules
controlling the
participation
among schools.
Schools are divided
in classification
according to
size so that schools
will have an
opportunity to compete for honors
among schools of their own size.
The state is divided into regions
in each classification. Each region
is operated by the schools in the
region. Some events are held
as statewide events open to all
schools. Some events are held on
elimination basis with the region
competing in state events in the
various classifications.

competitive activities. Rule books
are distributed and rules clinics
for coaches and officials are held
throughout the state by GH-
SA-trained instructors. In football
and basketball, more than 75
trained evaluators circulate
around the state weekly to assess
the work of the officials.
Georgia Independent School
Association (GISA) is a non-profit
association of private, independent,
and parochial schools throughout
the state. The mission of GISA is to
advance excellence and collaboration
among Georgia’s independent
schools by serving the professional
growth, advocacy, and interscholastic
needs of member schools.
Each member school is unique,
while sharing a unified commitment
to overall
excellence, as
well as to the

of the physical,

social, and moral
development
of all students. GISA was established
to provide coordination of
and services for member schools,
dissemination of information between
and among the schools, and
to join other regional and national
bodies in offering leadership on
both meaningful and consequential
educational issues. In addition, the
Association fosters close relations
between the member schools, colleges,
and public schools within the
State of Georgia. The Association
also provides academic and athletic
competitions among its member
schools. While most schools are
college preparatory, offering small
classes, stressing a rich curriculum,
and emphasizing individual
attention, independent and parochial
schools also encourage each
student’s responsibility and service
to the community in their policies
and programs. Each member
school promotes enrollment from
all segments of the
community. The
enrollment in
member schools
varies from 75 to
over 2800, with
campuses that are
rural, suburban,
and metropolitan. Student bodies
are predominantly co-educational
with a smaller number of schools
serving as single-sex schools,
wholly boarding, or boarding and
day facilities. The majority of GISA
schools are secular, but many are
religiously affiliated. All schools
admit students without regard to
race, color, ethnicity, or national
origin, to all the rights, privileges,
and programs available within
each school.
