District of Columbia Interscholastic Athletic Association


The District of Columbia Interscholastic Athletic Association is the public high school athletic league in Washington, D.C. The league was founded in 1958. The original high school conference for D.C. schools was the Inter-High School Athletic Association, formed around 1896. That organization was segregated, and black schools in the District formed their own athletic association. The Inter-High League was renamed the DCIAA in 1989 to bring the District of Columbia in line with other states with interscholastic athletic programs.
The DCIAA sponsors varsity championships in basketball, baseball, bowling cross country, football, Flag football, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, and wrestling.

Football Divisions

To increase the parity in DCIAA football, two separate divisions based on ability were created, rather than the East-West division structure of previous years. The Stars Division is the more competitive division and those schools will be eligible for the historic Turkey Bowl game.
Stars Division
Stripes Division
In 2016-2017, Eastern moved up to the Stars Division while Coolidge goes to Stripes Division.
In 2018-2019, Roosevelt moved up to the “Stars Division”.
