The South Carolina High School League (SCHSL) is an organization that regulates high school sports in South Carolina. Each year since 1916, the SCHSL has crowned a state champion in football. Every fall, a postseason consisting of a 32 school bracket is played to determine a winner.
The divisions for football are based on school enrollment. Divisions include:
- AAAAA (quin-A or 5A)
- AAAA (quad-A or 4A)
- AAA (triple-A or 3A)
- AA (double-A or 2A)
- A (one-A or 1A)
The SCHSL historically had a B and C division but these divisions are no longer used.
