Source: District 127 press release

After two years of transition and planning, the Northern Lake County Conference (NLCC) is embarking on its inaugural year beginning on July 1, 2016.

"This has been a labor of love getting ready for our first year as a conference," said Catherine Finger, Superintendent of Grayslake High School District 127.

The new conference is comprised of Antioch, Grant, Grayslake Central, Grayslake North, Lakes Community, North Chicago, Round Lake and Wauconda high schools.

"The new conference was formed to provide more opportunities for our students from all eight high schools in both athletics and extra-curricular activities", said Jim McKay, Superintendent of Antioch/Lakes High School District 117.

The NLCC has big plans to provide competitions and interactive venues for students who participate in activities other than sports. “

We are all very excited to see students from our fine arts and school clubs from across our geographical areas participate in conference activities and competitions," said Christy Sefcik, Superintendent of Grant High School District 124.

The NLCC is integrating this new conference philosophy into the first annual Leadership Conference on August 13, 2016.
“Everyone is so excited to attend our first event, the leadership conference. So much work has gone into the planning by our athletic and activity directors as well as our school principals," said Connie Collins, Superintendent of Round Lake Unit School District 116.

Athletic competitions for the new NLCC begin with the upcoming fall sports seasons.
