Thank you for supporting the Happy Valley Sports Officials Symposium!
The Happy Valley Sports Officials Symposium invites athletic directors, P.E. teachers, curriculum admin, and all applicable organizations to hear from Taunton (MA) Public Schools leadership on how they implemented a system to utilize high school students to increase the number of sports officials.
A MODEL BUILT FOR SUCCESS
As written about in the Boston Herald, Taunton Public Schools in Massachusetts has changed the game by developing a model actively recruiting the next generation of sports officials.
Join us in Happy Valley to learn directly from the Taunton Team about how YOU can increase the pool of sports officials in your community.
The curriculum immerses students in the shoes of an official, fostering a new perspective on the importance of the profession.

Sports officials are in high demand across all sports and at all levels, now more than ever. Explore the opportunity to enroll your school in a training course endorsed by the NFHS & NCAA!
This two-day event is set to unite key individuals from school districts across the state. Together, our goal is to introduce a comprehensive curriculum that centers around the recruitment, education, training, and retention of officials, starting directly within high school classrooms.
