Member Schools
The North Coast League was founded by six parochial high schools in 1984. Its original members were Cleveland Central Catholic, Holy Name. Lake Catholic, Padua Franciscan, St. Peter Chanel, and Trinity. Elyria Catholic and Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin joined the league shortly after it was founded. The schools were then separated into two four-team divisions based on enrollment. Villa Angela-St. Joseph joined the league in 2004 and Archbishop Hoban in 2005, but Cleveland Central Catholic left, creating unevenly sized divisions. Central Catholic re-joined the league in 2006, creating a balanced ten-team lineup.
In 2011, the NCL added Beaumont, Benedictine, Walsh Jesuit, and Warren John F. Kennedy high schools. Elyria Catholic left the league to join the West Shore Conference. Benedictine is an all-boys school and Beaumont is an all-girls school, so twelve schools compete in most sports, in two divisions of six schools each.
St. Peter Chanel will leave the North Coast League at the end of the 2012-2013 School Year due to the school's closing. St. Thomas Aquainis will join the North Coast League for the 2013-14 school year (2014-15 for football).
The schools are separated into two divisions, based on the their enrollment.

Famous quotes containing the words member and/or schools:
“And the member for the constituency
Feeds the five thousand, and has plenty back.”
—William Robert Rodgers (1909–1969)
“If Jesus, or his likeness, should now visit the earth, what church of the many which now go by his name would he enter? Or, if tempted by curiosity, he should incline to look into all, which do you think would not shut the door in his face?... It seems to me ... that as one who loved peace, taught industry, equality, union, and love, one towards another, Jesus were he alive at this day, would recommend you to come out of your churches of faith, and to gather into schools of knowledge.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
