About MISSA
Mission
The MISSA mission is to further the sport of sailing in Midwest secondary schools, and to organize those schools competing by standardizing rules and procedures along with aiding with regatta scheduling. MISSA is a member of the Interscholastic Sailing Association (ISSA), which is the national governing body for High School sailing in the United States.

History
MISSA was established as the regional governing body for high school sailing in the Midwest. Our objective is to further the sport of sailing in Midwest secondary schools, and to provide a standardized set of rules and procedures for competition. Currently, there are 32 member schools. This number varies from year to year but has been fairly steady for the last several years. Click here to read more about the history of MISSA.
