The Lincoln Prairie Conference or LPC, is a high school athletic conference in Central Illinois.[1] The first year of existence was the 2019-20 school year. Its schools belong to the IHSA and compete in many sports and other activities.
The conference started in the 2019-20 school year and originally included Arcola, Argenta-Oreana, Arthur-Lovington-Atwood-Hammond, Bement, Blue Ridge, Cerro Gordo, Cumberland, Unity Christian, Heritage, Kansas, Oakland, Okaw Valley, Sangamon Valley, Shiloh, and Villa Grove all who left the Little Okaw Valley Conference.[2] The 15 member schools left the Little Okaw Valley Conference due to far travel time and left out Martinsville, Hutsonville, Palestine and Oblong.[3] On December 13, 2021 Sullivan High School accepted an invitation to join the Lincoln Prairie Conference beginning in the 2023-24 school year.[4]
