The Northwest Crossroads Conference is an eight-member IHSAA-sanctioned athletic conference. Seven of the eight institutions are in Lake County, while the eighth, Kankakee Valley, is in neighboring Jasper County. This conference was created in 2007, following the disbandment of the Lake Athletic Conference. Griffith left the conference after the 2016–17 school year to join the Greater South Shore Athletic Conference (IHSAA).

Hanover Central, in southern Lake County, joined the conference as its seventh member starting in 2023. Illiana Christian High School joins the conference in the 2026-27 school year, leaving the Greater South Shore Conference.
