About CIFSS
Athletic competition is an important aspect of high school life.
CIF is in a unique position to help students develop their morals and values. The CIF principle of “Pursuing Victory with Honor” provides the potential to have a significant impact on the athletic community’s actions. CIF promotes sportsmanship, honesty, and high academic standards in order to increase the integrity of children and adults across the state. These values promote the highest principles of character: honesty, respect, accountability, justice, compassion, and good citizenship.
The CIF-SS was founded on March 29, 1913, at the first High School Run Track Championships on the YMCA field. A year later, on March 28, 1914, the State CIF was established.
