The Oregon School Activities Association, OSAA, is a non-profit, board-governed organization comprised of its member schools, both private and public. The OSAA is dedicated to ensuring equitable competition for Oregon high school students through OSAA-sponsored events. The foundation for that goal lies in a belief that no school, team or individual should be treated as any more or less than another.

OSAA standardized rules of eligibility and competition, and put in place a standard of education regarding participation in interscholastic activities. Administered equally and fairly, OSAA policies strive to allow no one school to outweigh its brethren.

The Small Boarding Schools Association was founded in 1987 by a group who felt that small boarding schools needed their own gathering to address those issues unique to their type of school.

While membership in the organization has grown since its founding, its central purpose remains essentially unchanged: SBSA continues to exist today to provide those who work in and with small boarding schools of various types an opportunity to share and to learn from one another.
