Each year, the Kansas State High School Activities Association recognizes and honors a select group of contest officials for their dedication and service to Kansas interscholastic athletic programs. The KSHSAA Official Recognition program started in the 1999-2000 school year to honor officials who have contributed significant years of service.

As we near the conclusion of 2024, it is time to recognize the amazing, above and beyond, others before self, actions and/or accomplishments that have taken place in association with high school activities. The KSHSAA invites all member high schools to submit the name of an individual, coach, or team demonstrating such qualities for the 2024 KSHSAA SOS and HOA Awards. Check out the past SOS and HOA award recipients online at the KSHSAA Gallery of Champions. Kansas has had two recent national winners!

The KSHSAA welcomes submissions to host the 2026-2028 State Basketball Tournaments.
