Charlie Adams, the executive director of the N.C. High School Athletic Association, will retire in January.
Adams has been the head of the NCHSAA, which oversees athletics at all public high schools in the state. He is a former president of the National Federation of State High School Associations.
Adams has not made a public announcement of his decision to retire, but plans were announced this week in Wilmington at the N.C. Athletic Directors Association that a retirement celebration for Adams would be held in conjunction with the NCHSAA's annual meeting in Chapel Hill.
An official announcement is expected to be made next week.
