Parents and Students

At its core, the Oregon School Activities Association strives to provide quality programs for high school students throughout Oregon. Parents can be the most influential and positive support group for students as they grow and develop. The following resources will help parents and students in getting the most out of their interscholastic experiences. We encourage you to work closely with your local school and school district to take full advantage of the benefits offered through high school activities.
