The Greater Cleveland Conference is an active OHSAA athletic league that originally existed from 1950 to 1998, then re-formed (including two prior members, Mentor and Euclid) to begin play in the 2015–2016 school year.
[1][2] This second collection of schools was able to use the name "Greater Cleveland Conference" from the defunct league because Mentor retained the rights to the name from its previous tenure in the GCC.
The conference remained unchanged after that for eighteen years until 1993, when Mentor left for the Lake Erie League and was replaced by Nordonia High School.
The inaugural lineup of the reformed Greater Cleveland Conference[5] began in 2015 with Brunswick, Elyria, Euclid, Medina, Mentor, Shaker Heights, Solon, and Strongsville.
Shaker Heights announced in January 2019 that they would leave the GCC to rejoin the Lake Erie League for the 2020–21 school year.
