If you look at the full name - National Federation of State High School Associations - you realize that the NFHS is nothing more that a collection of state associations. It was started back in the 1920's by four midwest states (MI, WI, IL and IO) to combat the influence of the NCAA and club teams on high school sports. Currently all 50 states and some Canadian associations are members.

While the NFHS has an administrative staff in Indy, it's policy and rule making personnel are from the states.
