The National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA), based in Denver, Colorado, was incorporated in 1961 to promote interest in rodeo sports among high school students, to provide training, and to establish venues for their performances.

It began in 1947 as a single organization in Texas (National Championship High School Rodeo Association), and has grown to include local organizations in most U.S. states and in Canada, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand. It has over 12,000 members and sanctions over 1,800 rodeos every year.

The NHSRA holds a finals rodeo every year, changing locations every two years, and awards championships in both girls and boys events.

In addition to high school students, the NHSRA provides similar services for junior high school age students, but with some events unique to this division: boys chute dogging, boys breakaway roping and boys goat tying. The Junior division showcases the only event which must have one girl and one boy: dally ribbon roping.
