History

The Crown Conference was established on September 21, 2020, by six Cleveland-area high schools: Beaumont, Lake Catholic, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin (NDCL), Padua Franciscan, Villa Angela-St. Joseph (VASJ), and Walsh Jesuit. All six schools were members of the former North Coast League, which disbanded earlier in 2020.[1] The league will begin play in all sports in 2021. As Beaumont is an all-girls school, the conference will field five members in boys sports and six in girls' sports.

The conference took its name from the former Crown Conference, which was an all-Catholic school league in greater Cleveland that existed from 1967 to 1980. Lake Catholic, NDCL (as Cathedral Latin), Padua, and VASJ (as St. Joseph) were members of the original Crown Conference along with Holy Name, St. Edward, and St. Peter Chanel.[2]
