Washington Interscholastic Activities Association
Encyclopedia
The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) is the governing body of athletics and activities for secondary education
schools in the state of Washington. As of February 2011, the private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
consists of nearly 800 member high school
s and middle/junior high schools
, both public and private.
The WIAA creates and governs rules to establish uniformity of standards in sports and activities; to protect the safety and health of students; to shield students from exploitation by special interest groups; to provide fair and equal opportunities to all students participating; and to encourage good sportsmanship. A stated goal of the organization is to promote diversity of its membership at all levels.
The organization also provides member schools an open channel of communication with other members to organize any events and activities, as well as to resolve any issues. In addition, the WIAA recognizes achievement and excellence of member teams and individuals participating in sports and activities.
s. The organization places member schools into one of six tiered classifications based on enrollment ranges: 1B, 2B, 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A. The enrollment ranges are evaluated by the WIAA Executive Board biennially and finalized for a two-year period.
Current classifications for years 2010 through 2012, as approved by the WIAA Executive Board on January 24, 2010, are as follows:
For the years 2010 through 2012, there are 62 member schools in 1B classification; 62 member schools in 2B classification; 65 member schools in 1A classification; 64 member schools in 2A classification; 67 member schools in 3A classification; and 66 member schools in 4A classification. 23 member schools are not counted because "they do not access postseason play, they have no athletics, they do not meet the WIAA separate alternative high school definition or they do not field at least one team sport outside of a combined program."
Schools that opt-up during the first opportunity are divided into equal classifications after the classification enrollment ranges have been finalized. Schools that elect to opt-up during the second opportunity must be approved by the board of their governing District and the WIAA Executive Board.
For the years 2010 through 2012, 9 member schools opted up to 2B classification; 5 member schools opted up to 1A classification; 1 member school opted up to 2A classification; 24 member schools opted up to 3A classification; and 4 member schools opted up to 4A classification.
Conference and League alignment is determined annually.

six leagues.
. The Greater Spokane League was formed in 1925 as the Spokane City League and became the GSL in 1976. District 8 was created to separate the larger schools (then 3A) from the smaller schools in District 7. Schools that drop to 2A therefore leave the GSL and District 8. Consequently, schools have gone through great lengths to remain in the league and maintain historic rivalries, including Gonzaga Prep opting-up to 4A despite having 2A enrollment numbers.

Purpose
Founded in 1905 to "create equitable playing conditions" between member teams, the WIAA plans and supervises interscholastic sports and activities approved and delegated by the various school district boards of directors. The organization emphasizes the importance of interscholastic sports and activities in the "total educational process" while recognizing that education is the primary responsibility of its member schools.The WIAA creates and governs rules to establish uniformity of standards in sports and activities; to protect the safety and health of students; to shield students from exploitation by special interest groups; to provide fair and equal opportunities to all students participating; and to encourage good sportsmanship. A stated goal of the organization is to promote diversity of its membership at all levels.
The organization also provides member schools an open channel of communication with other members to organize any events and activities, as well as to resolve any issues. In addition, the WIAA recognizes achievement and excellence of member teams and individuals participating in sports and activities.
Funding
Primary funding for the WIAA is through ticket sales for state championships and other events. Additional funds are secured through corporate sponsorships, memberships fees, and small percentages of the sales of merchandise related to the organization and its member schools.

. The Greater Spokane League was formed in 1925 as the Spokane City League and became the GSL in 1976. District 8 was created to separate the larger schools (then 3A) from the smaller schools in District 7. Schools that drop to 2A therefore leave the GSL and District 8. Consequently, schools have gone through great lengths to remain in the league and maintain historic rivalries, including Gonzaga Prep opting-up to 4A despite having 2A enrollment numbers.
