2024 SSNCT

The 2024 Small School National Championship Tournament was the tenth iteration of NAQT's SSNCT, held on April 26-28 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, IL.

The tournament was split into two separate divisions: the Traditional Public Schools Division, which was open to public schools with 500 or fewer students enrolled in the top three grades; and the Open Division, which was open to schools which did not meet the definition of a "Traditional Public School" and which had 350 or fewer students enrolled in their top three grades. The Traditional Public Schools Division also contained a Very Small Schools subdivision, which consisted of public schools with 200 or fewer students enrolled in their top three grades.

A full field of 88 teams contested the Traditional Public Schools division, 31 of which were categorized as Very Small Schools. A further 55 teams contested the Open Division.
