Montana High School Rodeo Association

Welcome

The Montana High School Rodeo Association (MHSRA) is one of the 41 states, 5 Canadian provinces, and Australia that is involved in the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA)

Founded in 1947 by Claude Mullins, there are currently 12,500 students in the NHSRA competing in over 1,100 sanctioned rodeos every year. MHSRA members compete at the state level for local recognition and the top four contestants in each event then qualify to compete in the National High School Finals Rodeo held in July. At the NHSFR over 1,500 contestants compete for national titles, awards and scholarships. By being a student member of the MHSRA, contestants also have an opportunity to be awarded college scholarships and scholarship assistance for continuing their educational careers. The NHSRA is an independent student athletic association that relies on the financial assistance of sponsors. For more information about the MHSRA, follow the links on the left and contact any of the directors or secretary.

National Entry Forms are up under "Forms" and then "State Finals".  Both parents and contestant have to sign in front of a Notary.  This will need to be filled out and signed/notarized beforehand if one parent is unable to attend State Finals and the contestant qualifies for Nationals.  It makes National paperwork go quicker if as many as possible are filled out and signed/notarized beforehand.   

High School State Finals Contestants:  Please TYPE up a bio for the State Finals Announcers, with name, grade, rodeo accomplishments and other hobbies/sports and accomplishments.  Bring to Check In.
