High school football National Championships have been awarded since the conclusion of the 1910 season and with the exception of a few wartime years it is an honor that has been handed out annually by the media.
The selection was initially arbitered by the National Sports News Service as the lone selection entity from 1910 through 1982. The NSNS ran through 1999 but with the advent of the USA Today Super 25 the public turned it attention to the newspaper to crown its champion. From the mid-1980s through the mid-2000s there was only the two polls of record. The National Prep Poll came into existence in 1987 and each of the USA Today and NPP still run today.
Since 2007 the HSFB100 has crowned a national champion and that honor has evolved into the poll of record since 2009.
Below is a complete history of the high school football national championship selections.
