Email Policy: Due to the high volume of email messages received by the Association, an expedited personal response may not always be possible. The MSHSAA staff will respond first to more traditional means of communication such as telephone calls, written correspondence and faxes. The MSHSAA office can be reached at (573) 875-4880 during regular office hours. As time permits, staff will reply to email messages that include the sender’s complete name, address and phone number. Questions regarding student eligibil-ity or specific MSHSAA by-laws should first be directed to your local school administrator. By Board policy, our staff is not permitted to answer specific eligibility inquiries via email, and any follow-up questions to the MSHSAA should be done via telephone or written correspondence.
