MSHSL News

The Minnesota State High School League has long governed interscholastic athletic and fine arts programs for students in grades 10, 11 and 12, along with any students in grades 7, 8 and 9 who participate in these MSHSL programs. In the past few years, the League has heard clearly from representatives of our Member Schools and the Board of Directors that it is time to transition our League to an organization that governs and includes all students in grade 9 in the same way it serves students in grades 10, 11 and 12. Additional information can be found here: www.mshsl.org/9thgovernance

The Board of Directors has called for a Member School vote on two constitutional amendments. Voting will open Friday, October 4, 2024.

The second amendment proposal proposes changing and updating archaic, outdated and inconsistent language in the Constitution. These changes will be technical in nature and will not change intent or application.

Information about the 9th Grade Governance Constitutional Amendment, the updated Constitutional language and the upcoming vote can be found on the 9th Grade Governance Page. www.mshsl.org/9thgovernance

These four items were sent to superintendents/heads of school/presidents this week via USPS mail:

• Letter to Member Schools
• Sample Ballot
• Amendment 1
• Amendment 2
