STEVENS POINT, Wis. – The month of October is designated National High School Activities Month, which is designed to promote and increase the public’s awareness of the benefits, values and needs of interscholastic activity programs.

The campaign is an opportunity to celebrate everyone who makes these interscholastic activities possible, including coaches, officials, administrators, parents, fans and members of the community. Each week is designated to highlight and salute the individuals who provide these life-enriching opportunities for student-athletes.
