This week marks National Coaches, Advisors, Sponsors and Officials Week as part of National Activities Month. To honor the thousands of high school officials nationwide who maintain the rules and fair play, the NFHS Officials Webpage is celebrating with a page full of new content.

This week is a time to recognize the contributions of high school coaches, advisors, sponsors and contest officials. What can you do?

• Host breakfast for officials who help in sports and fine arts
• Class competition of "You Make the Call” and feature questions regarding sport rules
• Have round-table discussion with students, officials and parents
• Donate sportsmanship book or video to library on behalf of officials
• Send certificates of recognition and appreciation letters to officials
• Post signs thanking officials
• Provide NFHS sportsmanship cards to all officials who work contests at your school
• Present the NFHS Sportsmanship-Ethics-Integrity Award to deserving officials

It also marks a relaunch of the page, of sorts. This fall, the newly formed NFHS Officials Editorial Advisory Board began directing and contributing the articles and content for this page. The Advisory Board grew from the previous NFHS Officials Publications Committee. The committee previously oversaw the editorial content of the Officials' Quarterly magazine until it was no longer printed after 2010.

The Advisory Board's main goal is to create, review and solicit articles from a network of officials across the country. With a growing list of contributors, the goal is to update the page on more frequent basis with relevant content on issues important to officials.
