Allen Iverson-style sleeves are illegal in NFHS unless prescribed by a doctor, and the player or coach has an actual doctor's note saying that he/she must wear one.
Nothing covering the elbow or above is allowed without a doctor's note for medical reasons only.
Also, as for hard items, they are allowed on the upper arm or shoulder but must be padded. They are not allowed at all on the elbow, hand, finger/thumb, wrist or forearm. Not even with soft padding.
You should read up on Rule 3, Section 5, Article 2(a through d).
