Northern High School Conference II
The Northern High School Conference II is an athletic and academic league comprising high schools primarily in the northern region of a state or area (specific location may vary). It organizes competitive events, fostering sportsmanship and scholastic excellence among member schools. While its exact founding date may differ by region, such conferences often trace their origins to the early or mid-20th century as school districts formalized interscholastic programs.
