The Super Essex Conference (SEC) is a high school athletic conference located in Essex County, New Jersey.
The conference was formed in 2009 by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association and was a result of a larger realignment that swept through North Jersey.
Several schools were members of either the Mountain Valley or Watchung conferences, while several further were independent.
The Super Essex Conference, has adopted a strength of program alignment that places all the stronger programs in the top division and the weaker programs in the lower division with schools moving up or down every two years based on performance.
[1] For the 2011-2012 school year the conference added three new members in Christ the King Prep, Newark Tech High School, and North 13th Street Tech.
