The Eastern Athletic Conference, or EAC, is a high school sports conference consisting of teams in southeastern Massachusetts. The league is a subset of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association. It is noted for having both a competitive conference, as well as one with an eclectic mix of both private and public schools. The current member institutions are Bishop Feehan High School, Bishop Stang High School, Coyle and Cassidy High School, Martha's Vineyard Regional High School (added in 2009), and Somerset Berkley Regional High School.
