About

Grade 5 – 12 students from all over British Columbia compete in regional Rodeos between September and June concurrent with the school year.

The BCHSRA is divided into two separate regions, the North and South dividing at Quesnel, BC. The two regions come together twice a year usually to do a Co-approved rodeo and then meet again when it is time for provincials.

The top twelve competitors in each region and event from the Junior division (Grades 5 – 8) meet for their Provincial Finals in the latter half of May. The top 4 juniors in each event at the provincial level then qualify for the National Junior High Finals Rodeo held in the United States in June.

The top twelve competitors in each region and event from the Senior division (Grades 9 – 12) meet for their Provincial Finals in the first half of June. The top 4 seniors in each event at the provincial level then qualify for the biggest rodeo in the world, the National High School Finals Rodeo which boasts over 1700 contestants and is held in the United States in July.

The top 5 juniors and top 6 seniors in each event from the BCHSRA Provincial Finals qualify for the Canadian High School Rodeo Finals held at various locations in Canada in the month of August.

We pride ourselves in making High School Rodeo a rewarding and fulfilling experience for our competitors. Education is very important to our association and we strive to present many bursaries and scholarships for our graduating class. Season leader awards are presented at the Provincials for the top athletes in each event from each region. Awards are also given out to the top four competitors in each event based off the Provincial Finals results.
