The District of Columbia Interscholastic Athletic Association (DCIAA) is the public high school athletic league in Washington, D.C. The league was founded in 1958. The original high school conference for D.C. schools was the Inter-High School Athletic Association, formed around 1896. That organization was segregated, and black schools in the District formed their own athletic association. The Inter-High League was renamed the DCIAA in 1989 to bring the District of Columbia in line with other states with interscholastic athletic programs. The DCIAA offers sports on the elementary, middle and high school levels (grades 4th through 12th). The DCIAA sponsors varsity championships in archery, basketball, baseball, bowling, cheer, cross country, football, flag football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.
