 Recognizing Interscholastic Athletic Administrators' Day on December 
                               14, 2022.

Whereas, each December, the House of Representatives recognizes the positive 
        contributions of interscholastic athletic administrators;
Whereas the position of school athletic administrator is recognized as an 
        important contributor to the educational community, which, like other 
        academic professions, benefits greatly from continued education and 
        certification;
Whereas the position of school athletic administrator has stewardship over the 
        largest department of staff members and students in high schools in the 
        United States;
Whereas the position of school athletic administrator involves serving as 
        guardian over education-based athletics, which is one of the best 
        dropout prevention programs in schools;
Whereas school athletic programs foster the development of students physically, 
        mentally, socially, and emotionally by enriching students through the 
        life lessons learned through participation and competition;
Whereas, for students, interscholastic athletic participation is an integral 
        part of the educational experience and enhances the learning and 
        maturation process;
Whereas school athletic administrators are committed to developing and 
        maintaining comprehensive education-based athletic programs that seek to 
        achieve the highest development of all student athletes;
Whereas school athletic administrators fulfill the professional responsibilities 
        of those administrators with integrity and with a commitment to 
        equality, safety, and instilling a passion for athletics in the next 
        generation;
Whereas school athletic administrators preserve, enhance, and promote the 
        educational values of athletics in schools through professional growth 
        in the areas of education, leadership, and service;
Whereas school athletic administrators create and maintain high standards of 
        ethics, sportsmanship, and personal conduct and lead coaching staffs, 
        student athletes, and community members in pursuit of those high 
        standards; and
Whereas the athletic programs run by school athletic administrators have impacts 
        that extend well beyond playing fields, athletic venues, and even 
        schools: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the annual recognition of Interscholastic 
        Athletic Administrators' Day;
            (2) commends school athletic administrators for the 
        commitment and leadership provided to student athletes at the 
        secondary school level; and
            (3) commends the National Interscholastic Athletic 
        Administrators Association as the leading organization that 
        prepares individuals who lead secondary school athletics 
        throughout the United States, providing continuous learning, 
        compassion, and preparation within the profession.
