#MyReasonWhy

We know that sports and activities help students do more than build skill and character development. Participation in sports and activities gives students a sense of self and community—and research shows that 92 percent of parents are in agreement that they lead to healthier lifestyles later in life.

To help bring #MyReasonWhy to life, we need your help highlighting real stories of students, parents,coaches, officials and community members. It can be as simple snapping a photo or video on your smartphone or sharing an influential moment using the hashtag #MyReasonWhy on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. You can also tell your story at nfhs.org/myreasonwhy and potentially be featured on our site and social channels, in advertising and in public displays and high schools across the country.
