The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) is an organization that sponsors activities in 36 sports, between more than 380 high schools in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. The MIAA serves over 220,000 student athletes from these schools. The MIAA is a member of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), which writes the rules for most U.S. high school sports and activities. The MIAA was founded in 1978, and was preceded by both the Massachusetts Secondary School Principals Association (MSSPA) (1942–1978) and the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Council (MIAC) (1950–1978).
