Lehigh Valley Conference
The Lehigh Valley Interscholastic Athletic Conference, known informally as the Lehigh Valley Conference or LVC, was an athletic conference consisting of 12 of the largest high schools from Lehigh and Northampton counties in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania. It was part of District XI of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA). In 2014, its teams were mostly assimilated into the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference, an even larger 18-team league of the largest high schools in the Lehigh Valley and Pocono Mountains regions of eastern and northeastern Pennsylvania.
Founded on November 14, 2001, the newly formed Lehigh Valley Conference (LVC) rejoined most of the 12 schools that formerly competed in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference at various times from 1976 to 1997, before five schools left in 1997 to join the Mountain Valley Conference (MVC). The LVC got off the ground after Parkland athletic director and head football coach Richard T. Sniscak was appointed principal of Parkland High School in May 2001 before earning a principal certification or a master's degree. In October 2001, Sniscak was approached by Parkland School Board member and Emmaus High School principal Dr. Herman Corradetti with the idea of reuniting the area schools that had competed in the East Penn Conference with a new conference, and played an intricate role in its formation.
In 1994, Phillipsburg High School left the East Penn Conference to join the Skyland Conference in New Jersey, which made was necessary for it to compete in NJISAA football playoffs. The same year, Northampton Area High School joined the MVC. Eleven of these schools then reunited, along with Nazareth Area High School, to form the LVC, which previously competed in the Colonial League before moving to the MVC in 1994. In 2002, Bethlehem Catholic High School was granted admission to the conference. In the 2002-03 school year, LVC conference play began.
In 2012, Allentown's two large public high schools, Allen High School and Dieruff High School, decided to join the MVC as associate members for football only. Then, on October 2, 2013, the LVC voted to invite six Monroe County high schools: Stroudsburg High School in Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg High School North in Dingmans Ferry, East Stroudsburg High School South in East Stroudsburg, Pocono Mountain East High School in Swiftwater, Pocono Mountain West High School in Pocono Summit, and Pleasant Valley Area High School in Brodheadsville. The remaining MVC school, Lehighton Area High School, had already announced in 2012 they would join the Schuylkill League.
