The IHSA Directory of Licensed Officials is uploaded weekly throughout the school year. The files are posted in plain text format for a users convenience. The file can be saved by right=clicking on the link and then selecting Save Link As… from the pull-down menu. Once the file is saved to a hard disk, the file can be manipulated in any number of ways.

The list of all officials includes the registration level of each official in all IHSA-recognized sports. A two-letter code indicating the sport is followed by a single letter indicating the officials level. Any official found on this list is eligible to officiate any regular season contest between IHSA-member schools in a sport(s) where the individual is licensed. IHSA By-law 2.080 requires member schools to use only licensed officials.

An official not found on this list is not eligible to officiate a contest involving any member school.

The sport codes are:



The registration levels, from top to bottom are:



The lists include each official's ID number, for sport lists, the year of last clinic attended, full name, city, ZIP code, and registration level. Officials may also choose to list their home address, home phone, business phone, and E-mail address.

New officials who have registered in the last three months are indicated by the month of registration in the first column.

TIPS: If you want to sort these files using a word processor, first use your word processor's global replace function to change the semicolon (;) into a tab. Most word processors will sort a document based on the values of columns separated by tabs. Database programs generally have the capability of importing data from plain text files. The easiest way is to specify that the data is in a "delimited ASCII" file, and that the field separator is a semicolon.

You can also quickly search for an official by last name or ID number by placing your cursor in the open directory file and striking Ctrl + F on your keyboard. A search box will appear, and individuals can enter an officials last name or ID number to see if that official is in the current directory.
