Scott Johnson

Scott Johnson is an Assistant Executive Director at the Illinois High School Association and has, among other administrative duties, served as editor of IHSA souvenir programs and other publications and as chairman of the Records Committee of the National Federation of State High School Associations. He also directed the IHSA Archives project, a large collection of films and videotapes of IHSA state final events that is now available on YouTube.

In 2002 he wrote "Once There Were Giants" with his wife, Julie Kistler.

His latest book is "Association Work", a biography of C. W. Whitten and H. V. Porter, the first two men to lead both the IHSA and the National Federation. It was published in 2018.
