League history
As part of a significant realignment in Cleveland-area high school leagues at the time, the Great Lakes Conference was formed in 2015 by seven schools that were conveniently located near each other and had similar competition levels.[3] Normandy, Parma, and Valley Forge came from the former Northeast Ohio Conference, Bay, Elyria Catholic, and Rocky River came from the former West Shore Conference, and Holy Name came from the North Coast League.
The league will add two members for the 2019-20 school year when Buckeye and Fairview come aboard after being approved for membership in May 2018.[4] Buckeye and Fairview were two of four schools being left out after eight of the 12 Patriot Athletic Conference schools decided to form a new league with more compact traveling distances.
On April 16, 2019, it was announced that Lakewood would join for the 2020-2021 school year, leaving the Southwestern Conference in order to do so.
