The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, Inc. (PIAA) is one of the governing bodies of high school and junior high school sports for the state of Pennsylvania, United States.

PIAA member schools are known for some of the most highly-regarded and competitive high school sports programs in the U.S. The state's football, field hockey, swimming, wrestling, cross country, and basketball programs are generally considered among the best in the U.S.

The PIAA main office is based in the Harrisburg suburb of Mechanicsburg.

Beginning in Pittsburgh, on December 29, 1913, the PIAA was charged with serving its member schools and registered officials by establishing policies and adopting contest rules that emphasize the educational values of interscholastic athletics, promote safe and sportsmanlike competition, and provide uniform standards for all interscholastic levels of competition.

As a result of the cooperative efforts of its membership, PIAA has assisted intermediate school, middle school, junior high school, and senior high school students in participating in interscholastic athletic programs on a fair and equitable basis, thus producing important education benefits.

Brendan Price (born 24 June 1947) is a theater, movie, and television British actor. He graduated, winning the prize for outstanding Dialect work and began his career, like so many other successful actors, learning his trade in the regional theatres of England. He worked in a number of the major theatres, playing a diverse range of parts in the plays of Anton Chekhov, Shakespeare, Arthur Miller, and in those of many other writers, both classical and modern.

His television career began with a part in the BBC’s prestigious Play of The Month series in James Joyce's Stephen Dedalus.

For the next few years his work moved freely between television and theatre until he made his first film, a starring role in the comedy Secrets of a Door to Door Salesman, which was due to be directed by a young Jonathan Demme, but, unfortunately, he was dismissed from the project. Brendan offered to resign his role in sympathy with him, but Jonathan counselled him to stay with the part. "In this business these things happen,"—Jonathan advised him.
