The North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) realignment estimates for 2025 aim to reshape the competitive landscape of high school sports in the state. The realignment process, which occurs every two years, involves dividing schools into conferences and divisions based on factors such as enrollment, geography, and competitive balance.
The upcoming realignment is particularly significant as it will implement a new classification system that reduces the number of classifications from six to four. This change is intended to improve competitive equity and reduce travel distances for teams. The realignment estimates will also take into account the addition of several new schools, as well as changes in enrollment at existing schools.
