GHSA to hear classification appeals
The Georgia High School Association will have hearings Thursday for schools appealing their classification placement or petitioning to play up for 2024-26. The GHSA has not released the names of schools that have filed. Sixty schools appealed during the most recent reclassification in 2021. Thirty-five won, 19 lost and six withdrew their appeals.
