The District of Columbia Interscholastic Athletic Association (DCIAA) is the public high school athletic league of Washington, D.C. The league was founded in 1958. The original high school conference for D.C. schools was the Inter-High School Athletic Association, formed around 1896. That organization was segregated, and black schools in the District formed their own athletic association. The Inter-High League was renamed the DCIAA in 1989 to bring the District of Columbia in line with other states with interscholastic athletic programs. The DCIAA offers sports on the elementary, middle and high school levels (grades 4th through 12th).

The DCIAA sponsors varsity championships in archery, basketball, baseball, bowling, cheer, cross country, football, flag football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.

Football Divisions (HS)

To increase the parity in DCIAA football, two separate divisions based on ability were created, rather than the East-West division structure of previous years. The Stars Division is the more competitive division, and those schools will be eligible for the historic Turkey Bowl game.

In 2016-2017, Eastern moved up to the Stars Division while Coolidge goes to Stripes Division. In 2018-2019, Roosevelt moved up to the Stars Division while Anacostia goes to Stripes Division. In 2024-2025, Coolidge moved up to the Stars Division. In 2026-2027, Bell (Chec) moved up to the Stars Division while Jackson-Reed goes to Stripes Division.

Football Championships (HS)

The DCIAA crowned a single football champion from 1955 through 2012. Beginning in 2013, the league divided its football championship into the Stars Division and Stripes Division. The Stars Division championship is decided in the annual Turkey Bowl, while the Stripes Division championship is decided in the Gravy Bowl.
