Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association (MPSSAA), is the association that oversees public high school sporting contests in the state of Maryland. Organized in 1946, the MPSSAA is made up of public high schools from each of Maryland's 23 counties and Baltimore City, which joined the association in 1993 when its public high schools withdrew from the Maryland Scholastic Association.
The MPSSAA includes nearly 200 public high schools, with more than 110,000 student-athletes participating in 24 sports. The Maryland State Board of Education establishes the rules and regulations governing Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association athletic programs and functions under the Division of Instruction of the State Department of Education. All qualified public high schools in Maryland who qualify under rules and regulations may become members of the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association.
The purpose of the Association is to promote, direct, and control all interscholastic activities of high school students; to establish, maintain, and enforce regulations to assure that all such activities are part of and contribute toward the comprehensive educational program of the state of Maryland; to work with the state department of education in the development of the program to safeguard the physical, mental, and moral welfare of high school students and protect them from exploitation.
