Who We Are

 The OKJHSRA is influenced by strong family involvement, the building of character and the development of leaders. OKJHSRA’s winning record makes it the “Team to Beat” at the National Junior High School Rodeo Finals

Our History

The Junior High Division was established in 2004 by the NHSRA for 6th , 7 th, and 8th grade student athletes. 42 states, five Canadian provinces, and Australia (comprising over 2,500 Members) hold sanctioned Junior High Division Rodeos.  The “best of the best” from each state/province qualify for the National Junior High Finals Rodeo, the second largest rodeo in the world. Approximately 900 junior high cowboys and cowgirls compete at Nationals each year for thousands of dollars in scholarships and prizes.
