The Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association, the non-profit governing body of high school athletics in the Silver State, began the Award of Excellence in Academics, Athletics and Citizenship program in 2001. The scoring system awards points to schools based on their varsity teams’ performances in the classroom, at the athletic venue and in the Citizenship Through Sports Program. Each of the three major categories in high school activities – academics, athletics and sportsmanship – are weighted equally, and boys and girls programs are combined in the standings table. Spirit points were added after the conclusion of the winter season. Points will be deducted for ejections and other unsportsmanlike conduct at the conclusion of the spring season.

The NIAA honors the winning school in each classification by presenting it with a championship banner and commemorative trophy. The NIAA considers the Award of Excellence in Academics, Athletics and Citizenship to be its top overall program.
