Building Better People Through Participation
The objectives of the Colorado High School Activities Association are to provide meaningful participatory experiences for students; exemplary platforms for competition promote student-centered activities; and provide leadership to the CHSAA's 360 member public and private high schools.
"High school athletics and activities continue to be an integral part of every community. The involvement of local and statewide businesses as corporate sponsors shows not only support for the students participating, but also provide needed resources to keep these programs operating at an appropriate level. Corporate involvement in these activities is a win-win situation. The students have the resources for an important part of their education and the corporations are providing support for the children of their neighbors, employees and communities," CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green said.
"The CHSAA works diligently to partner with corporations, whose marketing initiatives mirror membership core values, Academics Competition, Team Leadership Character Building, Sportsmanship and Equitable Opportunities."
