The research questions were Is racism and discrimination a part of the hidden curriculum in high school athletics in Southeast Georgia Schools? How and why are student-athletes racially discriminated against in Southeast Georgia high schools? This inquiry is qualitative based and interviews with student athletes of the six high schools were performed in order to gain information about whether racial issues existed in high school athletics in the area of the inquiry. The findings showed that racial discrimination did occur and still does according to the perception of student-athletes in the area. Four themes emerged from the inquiry which were unawareness of discrimination or denial, specific racial makeup of some sports, issues of playing time, and race determines athletic ability.
