Mississippi Valley Conference (Iowa)
The Mississippi Valley Conference (also called MVC) is a high school athletic conference whose members are located in the metropolitan areas of eastern Iowa, including Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, Iowa City and Waterloo-Cedar Falls.
The conference is divided into two divisions: the Mississippi division and the Valley division. Division assignments rotate every two years, and are not geographically-basaed.
At present the MVC comprises all 4A schools with the exception of Dubuque Wahlert, which is categorized as 3A school. Cedar Rapids Xavier, when admitted to the MVC, was a 3A school, but became a 4A school beginning with the 2008-09 school year.

A glowing valley of the shadow of life. The strolling crowd went slowly by through the kinematically divine thoroughfare of New York.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
