Periodically, The NFHS Voice will be presented in the form of video. This week, as he begins his tenure as executive director of the NFHS, Davis Whitfield shares the vision of the NFHS to be the leading advocate for education-based sports and performing arts in our nation’s schools. He says the importance of education-based sports and activities in our nation’s schools has never been higher, and it is the vision of the NFHS to be the first place to turn for resources, for education, for innovation and for solutions. As the 2026-27 school year begins, he urges support for our state associations, our schools, and the millions of students in these life-changing activity programs. 

The IHSAA Student Advisory Council would like to promote Gem State of Mind: 

Give Everyone Their Moment 

our new sportsmanship brand. We encourage everyone across Idaho to practice good sportsmanship, whether you're in the stands or out on the court. It takes all of us to create a positive environment.
