MISSION STATEMENT
Adopted by the Board of Directors - October 1996
To advocate participation in cocurricular activities; to regulate sanctioned interscholastic activities, contests and programs; and to promote the academic and social development of students.
ASAA's Strategic Plan is based on the following beliefs:
Interscholastic activities:
• Exist for the intrinsic values they provide for students of member schools;
• Are an integral part of the overall educational program;
• Provide an opportunity to learn and apply skills beyond the classroom;
• Promote character, citizenship, leadership and personal responsibility;
• Provide for fair and equitable opportunities for students of member schools;
• Provide unique opportunities for students to benefit from cross-cultural contact;
• Encourage and enhance the connections between communities and schools, adults and students, and among students; and
• Promote positive academic growth and develop sportsmanship.
