Captains Course
NFHS Core Course | Student
Are leaders born, or are they made? While some student-athletes have the characteristics to be a leader, leadership is a learned skill. Most captains receive little to no training on how to be a team leader. Coaches throw captains into a leadership role, and then cross their fingers that the student will succeed. With the help of Michigan State University’s Institute for the Study of Youth Sports and the Michigan High School Athletic Association, this course was created to help develop high school team leaders. Student-athletes are prominently featured via on-screen hosts and captain interviews throughout the ten-segment curriculum, while participants learn about leadership skills and reflect on and the important role of the team captain.

Understanding Vaping and E-Cigarettes
Elective Course | Coach, Student, Parent, Administrator, Official, Performing Arts
Vaping is the act of inhaling an aerosol created by an e-cigarette or similar device. The term "vaping" misleads the user into thinking they are inhaling a vapor and something potentially safe or at least harmless. This is just one reason why the NFHS, with support from the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General, has created Understanding Vaping and E-cigarettes. This course helps dispel such misconceptions and highlights specific risks such as nicotine addiction for youth who try vaping and e-cigarettes.

The Student Experience
NFHS Core Course | Student
More than 12 million high school students in America participate in school activities with some taking advantage of multiple opportunities such as playing a sport, singing in the choir or performing in the school musical. The NFHS has developed the course because while taking part in activities should be fun, we recognize that participating can lead to so much more. There are inherent learning opportunities from taking part in activities. Doing so can lead to greater academic achievement, an enhanced connection to community and a better understanding of those with whom we share these experiences.
