The National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA), based in Denver, Colorado, was incorporated in 1961 to promote interest in rodeo sports among high school students, to provide training, and to establish venues for their performances.

It began in 1947 as a single organization in Texas (National Championship High School Rodeo Association), and has grown to include local organizations in most U.S. states and in Canada, Mexico and Australia. It has over 12,000 members and sanctions over 1,800 rodeos every year.

The NHSRA holds a finals rodeo every year, changing locations every two years, and awards championships in both girls and boys events.

  • Girls events: all-around cowgirl, barrel racing, breakaway roping, pole bending, goat tying, ((rodeo queen)), team roping, girls cutting horse, and working cow horse.
  • Boys events: all-around cowboy, tie down (calf) roping, steer wrestling, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, team roping, boys cutting horse, and working cow horse.
  • Coed events: team roping

In addition to high school students, the NHSRA provides similar services for junior high school age students, but with some events unique to this division: boy's chute dogging, boys breakaway roping and goat tying. The Junior division showcases the only event which must have one girl and one boy: ribbon roping.
