Student Contests and Activities

Welcome to the National Advisory List of Student Contests and Activities, produced by the National Association of Secondary School Principals through its National Committee on Student Contests and Activities.

The purpose of the National Advisory List is to provide information to assist principals, teachers, parents, and students in making decisions regarding participation in a wide variety of program opportunities. The Committee reviews all programs based on the following standards: educational, financial, organizational, promotional, adjudication and awards. Programs that in the opinion of the Committee meet the guidelines are placed on the National Advisory List. To provide additional assistance to principals, teachers, parents, and students, the Committee has also developed recommendations for evaluating student related materials in areas such as recognition programs, scholarship search programs, and direct marketing practices.

**The inclusion of a student program on the National Advisory List does not imply endorsement by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. A program being listed indicates that it has been reviewed by a committee of NASSP member principals and found to meet the established standards of quality for student contests and activities established by the National Committee and approved by the NASSP Board of Directors.
