Northern Lake County Conference

The Northern Lake County Conference (NLCC) is an organization of eight high schools in northern Illinois. These high schools are members of the Illinois High School Association.

The conference was established in 2016 with six former members of the North Suburban Conference (Antioch, Grant, Lakes, North Chicago, Round Lake, and Wauconda) and two former members of the Fox Valley Conference (Grayslake Central and Grayslake North). As the name implies, all members of the conference are located in Lake County.

Membership The conference's current members, as of 2021–22: SchoolTownTeam NameColorsEnrollmentStarting in the 2019–20 school year, the school enrollments listed by the IHSA are the average of the previous 2 school years and are updated every 2 years.IHSA Classes 2/3/4The state series class which a school competes in not only depends on the school's student population, but on the sport or activity. Some activities divide schools into two classes, some into three, and others into four. The listing here is in the order of two class, three class, and four class. The more "A"s in a class, the larger the schools competing. For more information on this, see Illinois High School Association#State Series Format.Schools are not assigned a classification for football until they have qualified for the playoffs each year. A school's classification not only depends on their student population, but on the populations of the other schools who have qualified. Thus, some schools routinely move between classes.Antioch Community High SchoolAntiochSequoits 1335AA/2A/3AGrant Community High SchoolFox LakeBulldogs 1784AA/3A/4AGrayslake Central High SchoolGrayslakeRams 1347AA/2A/3AGrayslake North High SchoolGrayslakeKnights 1431AA/2A/3ALakes Community High SchoolLake VillaEagles 1311.5AA/2A/3ANorth Chicago Community High SchoolNorth ChicagoWarhawks 742.5A/2A/3ARound Lake High SchoolRound LakePanthers 2211.5AA/3A/4AWauconda High SchoolWaucondaBulldogs 1371AA/2A/3A
