The mission of the NCHSAA is to provide governance and leadership for interscholastic athletic programs that support and enrich the educational experience of students. In keeping with that mission, the NCHSAA offers many award and recognition programs which highlight outstanding performances by our members. Every July, the NCHSAA holds their Award Banquet in conjunction with the North Carolina Coaches Clinic in Greensboro, NC where these recognitions are awarded.
