History

The North Coast Conference was established on May 31, 2023, by seven Cleveland-area high schools: Beaumont, Lake Catholic, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin (NDCL), and Padua Franciscan moved from the disbanding Crown Conference;[2] Elyria Catholic and Holy Name moved from the Great Lakes Conference, and Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy (CVCA) moved from the Principals Athletic Conference.[1]

All schools except CVCA were also members of the former North Coast League, which played from 1984 to 2020.
