As the school year concludes, Louisiana's high school seniors graduate and enter the next chapter of their lives and high school athletics wind down for the summer. The 2010-2011 school year was quite a remarkable year for the LHSAA, and the future promises to be even brighter.

I want to take a final opportunity to thank everyone who played a role, great or small, in LHSAA activities this school year. At its core the LHSAA is more than just five letters, a building or a logo: it is the people who share a dedication to our mission to foster positive life development, sportsmanship and healthy competition for our young student-athletes.
