Designed to restore respect to game officials, the Illinois High School Association inked a contract extension with Officially Human.

The I-H-S-A first launched the partnership in the 2023 school year, which provides Public Service Announcements, and a Human Elevate Respect Course for all I-H-S-A coaches.

Additionally, schools can use a media kit to help curb poor sportsmanship towards game officials.

Craig Anderson, Executive Director says....

A survey, conducted by the I-H-S-A in 2023 showed 62% of all game officials say sportsmanship of fans is the greatest challenge of the job.

Last year, the I-H-S-A licensed over 11-thousands individuals.
