EspañolCONNECTICUT ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS
The 'Connecticut Association of Schools' and the 'Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference' ('CIAC') is the governing body of secondary schools in the state of Connecticut.
The CIAC was founded in 1921 by several of the state's high school principals. Prior to the organization, secondary school athletics were largely unregulated, and abuse of student-athletes was fairly common. The goal of the new organization was to protect student-athletes and enforce rules for athletic competition between the state's secondary schools.
In 1953, the 'Connecticut Association of Secondary Schools' and the CIAC merged to form the CAS-CIAC, an organization designed to support all areas of interscholastic activities.
The CIAC has enjoyed tremendous growth since its founding in 1921. Today, 179 secondary schools are members, in addition to 143 members in the middle school level.
The government of the CIAC consists the Board of Control, which contains 5 officers, 2 representatives from each of the 3 classes, 3 members of the eligibility committee, and one assistant principal.
Any public or private school with Connecticut Board of Education approval may become a member. Member schools may play regular season contests with other member schools, and in addition may enter state tournaments in the 27 CIAC managed sports.
The CIAC breaks down the 27 sports into three seasons: fall, winter, and spring.
