GHSA Office Doing More Things Electronically 

When I measure my age in calendar years, I feel old. When I consider 

the number and quality of the innovations that I have seen during those 

years, I feel really old. In small steps, the Georgia High School Association 

is trying to move into the world of communication that exists in 

the 21 st century. 

The GHSA web site (www.ghsa.net) has been greatly enhanced in 

the past few weeks. The addition of the Constitution and By-laws to 

the web site represents a major change in GHSA procedures. It was 

apparent that many coaches never saw one of the “White Books” that 

was sent out to each school. Now everyone on the staff can have 

access to that information. Please note that the format has changed a 

little bit. Information that does not fit into the Constitution, the By-laws, 

or a sport procedure has now been placed in a series of appendices. 

It is the responsibility of administrators and coaches of member 

schools to know the GHSA rules that affect their students and their competitive programs. 

The web site format has been revamped in an attempt to make navigation easier. Much more attention 

has been given to calendar notations that can be accessed in several different ways. We encourage 

people to look at the web site first, and then call the office if questions persist. Please note the new 

“online store” and the links to our fine corporate partners. 

There are other changes in the communication process between the GHSA office and member schools. 

Obviously the GHSA newsletter has been sent electronically rather than through the mail. The use of 

bulk emails has been used with some degree of success. There is a major area of attention needed 

here, however. Contact persons at each school and their email addresses change more rapidly than the 

physical address of the school. Please enable the GHSA to communicate with you more effectively by 

letting us know when you change the contact person, or when that person changes his/her email address. 

This needs to be an ongoing process throughout the school year. The GHSA is investigating 

some additional communication systems that will allow for quicker communication in times of emergency. 

Be watching for more information about this. 

For the time being, the GHSA will not be handling eligibility filings electronically. This may happen in the 

future, but the privacy issues and the need for additional documentation have been a challenge. Other 

items will also be sent out on paper, but the number and the size of “all-school mailings” will be decreasing. 

If these technological changes create difficulties at your schools, please let us know.

Georgia’s EMCs Promote 

High School Sportsmanship 

In their continued commitment to youth and high school 

athletics, Georgia’s Electric Membership Cooperatives are 

kicking off a new program aimed at promoting sportsmanship 

at competitive events. 

The major thrust of the campaign will be to honor high 

schools that exemplify superior sportsmanship, according to 

Marty Myers of Georgia EMC. 

The Cooperative Spirit Sportsmanship Award will be presented 

annually to Georgia High School Association member 

high schools singled out for good sportsmanship. 

Approached by the GHSA to take part in its 

ramped-up focus on 

sportsmanship at regular 

season and playoff 

events, Georgia’s EMCs 

agreed to partner with 

GHSA by sponsoring the 

awards program de- 

signed to emphasize 

sportsmanship. 

“Good sportsman- 

ship is an essential aspect 

of school-based 

athletics,” says Ralph 

Swearingen, Ex- 

ecutive Director of 

the GHSA. “It is 

good citizenship 

demonstrated dur- 

ing competition.” 

Noting that the 

attributes of good 

sportsmanship 

fall in line with the 

principles by 

which cooperatives 

operate 

and live, Myers 

says it was an 

easy decision 

for Georgia’s 

EMCs, which 

have supported GHSA championship events for seven years, 

to join in promoting good sportsmanship. 

“Cooperative principles stress important values, such as 

cooperation and teamwork, just as relevant on the high school 

playing field as they are to co-op employees in the workplace,” 

said Myers. “We’re excited for this opportunity to increase the 

value of our sponsorship of Georgia high school athletics.” 

Up to 40 awards will be presented each year, one for each 

of the eight regions within the GHSA’s five classifications. 

Selected by each GHSA region, the awards honor not only 

sportsmanship demonstrated by athletes but by fellow students, 

parents, coaches and spectators also, making the award 

a tribute to the entire school community. 

The first Cooperative Spirit Sportsmanship Awards cover 

the 2005-06 school year and will be presented to the winning 

schools during halftime at fall football games. 

Winners of the first Cooperative Spirit Sportsmanship Awards 

across Georgia are: 

Class A: Region 1: Baconton Charter; Region 2: Calhoun 

County; Region 3: Bryan County; Region 4: Treutlen; Region 8: 

Jefferson. 

Class AA: Region 1: Mitchell-Baker; Region 2: Brantley 

County; Region 3: Bleckley County; Region 4: Heard County; 

Region 6: Dade County. 

Class AAA: Region 1: Crisp County; Region 3: Burke 

County & St. Vincent’s Academy (tie); Region 5: Blessed 

Trinity; Region 6: Cartersville. 

Class AAAA: Region 1: Bainbridge; Region 3: Westside 

(Macon); Region 8: Jackson County. 

Class AAAAA: Region 1: Tift County; Region 2: Redan; 

Region 3: Glynn Academy; Region 4: Mundy’s Mill; Region 5: 

Kennesaw Mountain.

STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 

August 28, 2006 

MINUTES 

The semiannual meeting of the State Executive Committee of the Georgia High School Association was called to order at 9:00 

a.m. on August 28, 2006, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Macon, Georgia, by Dr. Gary Holmes, President. Following is a condensed 

version of the minutes of that meeting. A complete version may be found on the GHSA web site. 

BOARD OF TRUSTEES: Report presented by Wayne Tootle. 

The Committee recommended: 

COMMITTEE REPORTS 

Establish a Policy on Practices in Hot Weather: 

(A) Beginning March 1, 2007, each member school shall have a written policy for conducting practices (all sports) 

during times of extremely high heat and/or humidity that will be distributed each year to players over the signature 

of the head coach. The policy shall include, but is not limited to: 

(1) the time of day the practices are to be scheduled at various heat index levels 

(2) the ratio of workout time to time allotted for rest and hydration at various heat index levels 

(3) the heat index level that will cause practice to be terminated outdoors 

(B) Additionally, a scientifically-approved instrument that measures the heat index must be utilized at each practice 

to insure the written policy is being followed properly. 

The GHSA is to make the request that the State Board of Education consider adopting this proposal as a state rule.

In all GHSA sanctioned sports, there may not be any “open” competitions or exhibition performances that extend participation 

beyond the three levels of competition (i.e., varsity, JV, 9th grade) mandated in this By-Law. The only interscholastic contests in which 

results are disregarded are scrimmages or jamborees noted in the respective sport sections of the By-Laws. 


The Board of Trustees received as information: 

(1) A meeting will be held with organizations that work with literary competitions and a report will be given at the next Executive Committee 

meeting to look for better ways to administer those events.
