Wyoming High School Activites Association     The mission of the Wyoming High School School Activities Association, both as a service and regulatory organization, is to coordinate the efforts of the member schools toward the ultimate objectives of interscholastic activities. Unification through the WHSAA provides the means for member schools to cooperate in protecting and enhancing their interscholastic programs to more effectively serve students. The WHSAA recognizes that the academic program must have top priority in the educational process.  While promoting the importance of the activities program, the Association recognizes that activities should not overshadow the emphasis placed on classroom work, but that the two should go hand-in-hand.
