Published in Georgia High School Athletics 1 min read

No, there is currently no 7A high school classification in Georgia.

The Georgia High School Association (GHSA), which governs high school athletics and activities across the state, recently implemented a significant reclassification plan. As part of these changes, the Class 7A designation has been eliminated. This means that while Georgia's high schools are still divided into various classifications based on student enrollment to ensure fair competition, the former highest tier, 7A, no longer exists.

Understanding Georgia's High School Classification Changes

Following the reclassification, the competitive landscape for high school sports in Georgia has been adjusted. Key points of these changes include:

  • The Class 7A designation has been completely removed.
  • Class 6A has been established as the new highest classification for high school sports and activities in the state.
  • These adjustments dictate how schools are grouped for athletic competitions, including state championship events.
