Combe elected to OSAA
executive board
Matt Combe, Heppner
Jr/Sr High School (HJSHS)
principal, has been elected
to serve on the Oregon
Schools Activities Asso-
ciation (OSAA) execu-
tive board. The OSAA is a
non-profit board-governed
organization comprised of
293 member schools, both
public and private.
The mission of the
OSAA is to serve member
schools by providing lead-
ership and state coordina-
tion for the conduct of inter-
scholastic activities, which
will “enrich the educational
experiences of high school
students.” The organiza-
tion, which was founded in
1918, sponsors 113 team
and 426 individual event
state championships for
students competing in 19
interscholastic activities.
The OSAA executive
board is a 13-member board
that sets policy for all mem-
Matt Combe
ber schools in the state. It
is currently comprised of
mostly school superinten-
dents. Combe will be the
only school principal on the
policy making board.
Combe has served the
last six years on the OSAA
delegate assembly board
that is comprised of ap-
proximately 40 members
from each conference or
league in each classification
(1A-6A) in the state. The
delegate assembly meets
regularly and makes grass
roots recommendations
to the executive board on
policy matters.
Combe, who has been
HJSHS principal for the
past 10 years, wrote in his
candidate’s statement, “I
have been an advocate of
athletics and extracurricular
activities throughout my
educational career. I have
valued my time serving
on the OSAA delegate as-
sembly and would like to
continue this work. I would
consider it an honor and
privilege if I were elected to
fill the 2A executive board
position. My focus would
be on positive working
relationships to help the
OSAA continue to function
efficiently and effectively in
enriching the educational
experiences and opportu-
nities for students.”
