The Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) is the major high school sports association in the state of Arizona. It comprises most of the state's public district high schools, various charter and private schools, plus one high school in California San Pasqual High School in Winterhaven, California, near the Arizona state line.[1] Unlike some similar organizations, it does not coordinate sports at the junior high/middle school level. There are 255 full members and 15 associate members.
The AIA is not the only high school sports regulatory body in Arizona (the Charter Athletic Association coordinates events for smaller schools, especially charter schools), but it is the largest and most well-known.
