Greater Indianapolis Conference

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Greater Indianapolis Conference is an IHSAA-sanctioned conference formed in 2018. The conference consists of charter schools in Indianapolis, including two that were formerly in the Indianapolis Public Schools system.[1] The conference also sponsors football, as Lighthouse-East began football, joining Howe and Manual. [2] The conference faced drastic changes in its second year, as Lighthouse-East was closed down, leaving the GIC with five members.[3] The league responded by adding three charter schools and two public schools, including another IPS school.[4]
