One New School Approved for IHSAA Membership

One school was approved for initial membership by the IHSAA Executive Committee during today’s first

meeting of the 2017‐18 school year.

An application was approved from Trinity School at Greenlawn of South Bend.

Trinity enrolls 122 students and maintains teams for both genders in soccer, basketball and track and field.

Students at the school will be able to compete in regular season events immediately but, by IHSAA rule, won’t be eligible to participate in state tournament series competition for four years (2021‐22).

The school will enter a four‐year membership period during which it will be required to meet a number of criteria in order to gain full membership. Among the criteria are adhering to all IHSAA rules and regulations, maintaining at least one team and program for each gender in each season (fall, winter and spring), attending the IHSAA New School Orientation and attending all seasonal meetings and educational opportunities for the principal and athletic director. In addition, each school will be monitored for compliance by an IHSAA assistant commissioner who will be assigned to mentor the school’s administrators during the first two years of membership.

At the end of the four‐year period (June 2021), the IHSAA Executive Committee will review the school’s overall compliance and vote to determine whether the school will gain full membership.

The new addition combined with the membership loss of Indianapolis Marshall maintains the same membership total as last year at 410 schools.
