About Us
The Mississippi High School Rodeo Association was founded in 1967. We were one of the early adopters who signed up with the National High School Rodeo Association which was founded several years prior. The first state finals was held that inaugural year and has been held each year thereafter. We are dedicated to promoting the sport of rodeo and the high school youth who love it. Like other high school sports, students must first focus on their education and maintaining satisfactory grades.
The season generally runs concurrent with a normal school year. Rodeos being around the first of September and continue through the state finals held the first part of June each year. If a member reaches the coveted top 4 in each event, they represent our state at the National High School Rodeo Finals in Lincoln, Nebraska July 18-24, 2021.
Merritt McLemore is our Student President and Lola Phillips is our Queen
