In 2015, Que Tucker became the first female and first African-American North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) commissioner, which is a position she continues to hold while leading 427 member schools.
A former college and high school coach, Tucker began her NCHSAA career in 1991. Prior to that, she had stints as a successful high school basketball coach and volleyball coach. She also served as an assistant coach for the North Carolina State University women’s basketball program under legendary head coach Kay Yow. Her duties included overseeing the team’s academic progress.
Among Tucker's highlights as NCHSAA assistant executive director is creation of its student services program. Through the program, students are educated on substance abuse, leadership development, academic accountability and citizenship. #TitleIXat50
