Bergen-Passaic Scholastic League Explained
The Bergen-Passaic Scholastic League, abbreviated BPSL, was an athletic conference comprising thirteen private and public high schools located in Bergen County and Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. The conference ceased to exist following the 2009–10 school year and joined most of the schools from the Bergen County Scholastic League to form the North Jersey Interscholastic Conference. The only school that did not join was Paterson Catholic High School, as the school closed following the 2009-10 year.
