Mid-Penn Conference

The Mid-Penn Conference (MPC) is a high school athletic conference with its membership base located in south central Pennsylvania. Founded in 1982, the conference and its members are affiliated with the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, and all but three schools are located in PIAA District 3.

History

1982-2004

The Mid-Penn Conference was created in 1982 when twenty-seven schools from four different athletic conferences in south central Pennsylvania joined together to create a single organization.^[1] Members of the Blue Mountain League (Big Spring, Boiling Springs, Camp Hill, Northern York, Shippensburg and Susquenita), Capital Area Conference (Cumberland Valley, East Pennsboro, Hershey, Lower Dauphin, Mechanicsburg, Middletown, Milton Hershey, Palmyra, Red Land and Susquehanna Township), South Central Athletic League (Bishop McDevitt, Carlisle, Cedar Cliff, Central Dauphin, Central Dauphin East, Chambersburg, Delone Catholic, Steelton-Highspire and Trinity) and Tri-Valley League (West Perry), along with former independents Harrisburg, composed the MPC's inaugural roster.^[2] At the time of its founding, it was the largest athletic conference in the PIAA in both membership and geographic footprint, spanning seven counties (Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lebanon, Perry and York).^[3] The conference experienced its first membership change in 1986, when Adams County-based Delone Catholic left to join the smaller Blue Mountain League.^[4] Six years later, eight of the eleven schools in the Blue Mountain League (Bermudian Springs, Biglerville, Fairfield, Gettysburg, Greencastle-Antrim, James Buchanan, Scotland and Waynesboro) became MPC members, bringing about the demise of their former conference.^[5] Ironically, the merger came after an attempt from Waynesboro, the largest member of the conference, to join the MPC a few months earlier.^[6]

2004-2018

The Mid-Penn Conference experienced a decade-plus of stability in its membership ledger until 2004, when Biglerville was accepted as members the York-Adams Interscholastic Athletic Association.^[7] Bermudian Springs and Fairfield followed Biglerville into the YAIAA a few days later.^[8] At the same time, the MPC took on four former independents as football-only associate members: Altoona, Central Mountain, Hollidaysburg and State College.^[9] Only a few weeks after their entry, Central Mountain backed out on joining the Mid-Penn Conference after they were reclassified into a smaller division by the PIAA.^[10] Williamsport had also expressed interest in joining the MPC's football roster at that time but chose to remain in the Wyoming Valley Conference instead.^[11] A few years after joining, the MPC lost two football-only associate members. Hollidaysburg left after just two seasons^[12] and Altoona made their departure after the 2009 football season.^[13] That same year, the Scotland School for Veteran's Children, a state-run public school for children of active and former military members, closed its doors due to state budget cuts.^[14] In 2012, State College joined the MPC as full members after nearly a decade of associate membership,^[15] and they were joined by the newly created Mifflin County High School in Lewistown.^[16] Two years later, Gettysburg^[17] and Susquenita^[18] left the MPC for membership in the YAIAA and Tri-Valley League, respectively.

2018-present

Altoona rejoined the conference for football as an associate member in 2018 along with three other sports (boys' basketball, girls' basketball and boys volleyball).^[19] Two years later, Altoona's baseball, softball and girls' volleyball programs joined the Mid-Penn.^[3] The MPC also acquired six new associate members when the Tri-Valley League dropped sponsorship of football in 2020: Halifax, Juniata, Line Mountain, Newport, Upper Dauphin and former full members Susquenita.^[20] Gettysburg also rejoined the conference in 2022,^[21] bringing the total number of member schools to its current tally of thirty-two. For the 2026 football season, the Mid-Penn Conference will be losing Big Spring and James Buchanan as members.^[22] Both schools will be joining the YAIAA as associate members for shorter travel distances and greater parity in competition, while remaining in the MPC for all other sports and activities.
