NCHSAA Finalizes 2025-2029 High School Sports Realignment

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) has finalized the average daily membership (ADM) numbers for its upcoming realignment, expanding from four to eight classifications starting in the 2025-2026 school year. This change, driven by a bylaw amendment, limits each classification to no more than 64 schools, with the largest 32 schools forming the new 8A classification. The NCHSAA collected ADM data independently this year due to data management changes and challenges from Hurricane Helene. The realignment aims to better organize schools based on size for interscholastic athletics.
