The Ohio Capital Conference is a high school athletic conference located in Central Ohio. It comprises 32 public high schools located primarily in suburban Columbus, Ohio, encompassing Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Licking, and Union counties. The league is geographically divided into four divisions of six teams each (Ohio, Central, Buckeye, and Capital) and one division of eight teams (Cardinal). Twenty-three schools compete in the OHSAA's Division I classification for football while eight schools compete in Division II. All conference members compete in the Central District postseason tournaments prior to the regional and state tournaments.

Academically, 27 of the 32 members were rated 'Excellent' by the Ohio Department of Education during the 2010–11 school year. Two were rated 'Effective' and three were classified under 'Continuous Improvement'. Effective in the 2011-12 season, every division except the Ohio Division faced realignment. The newest school to join the OCC is Olentangy Berlin (2018–19). The most recent school to leave is Mount Vernon (moved to the Ohio Cardinal Conference in 2016-17). The conference re-aligned with the 2020-21 school year.

History

On December 6, 1966, five (5) schools met at Millers Village Inn in Gahanna to discuss the formation of a new athletic conference and develop a proposed conference constitution. The following Principals and Athletic Directors were in attendance:

Gahanna Lincoln: Ben Webb and Byron Prushing
Reynoldsburg: Joe Endry and Bill Starner
Westerville: Dana Aukerman and Walt Bahorek
Whitehall: Bob Strohm and Ray Schick
Worthington: Lou Koloze and Dick West

The purpose was to approve the proposed constitution for the new league. Joe Endry, Acting Chairman of the group, asked for suggestions for a name for the new league. Several suggestions were made and the name Ohio Capital Conference was unanimously chosen.

Chairman Endry called for a discussion of the proposed constitution of the Ohio Capital Conference. After a review and discussion. the Schools’ representatives stated that they were in agreement and were ready to sign the document. Copies of the constitution were signed and the new constitution became a reality.

Original Members: Gahanna Lincoln, Reynoldsburg, Westerville, Whitehall Yearling & Worthington Invited to join: Delaware Hayes, Mount Vernon, Pleasant View (now Westland)

1974-75: Groveport Madison & Hilliard join; Westerville becomes "Westerville South";

1977-78: Chillicothe & Westerville North join. League begins play in two divisions.

1981-82: Franklin Heights, Grove City, Upper Arlington, Pickerington. League votes to determine divisions by enrollment and "no sister schools in same division" rules.

1991-1992: Dublin, Marysville, Watkins Memorial, Worthington Kilbourne join. "Worthington" becomes Thomas Worthington. League divides into 3 divisions.

1995-1996: Newark and Dublin Scioto join the league. "Dublin" becomes Dublin Coffman.

From "History of the Ohio Capital Conference":Mr. Workman, Chairman of the Alignment Committee, reviewed the proposed divisional alignment for the 2004-5 2005-6 seasons. Mr. Workman stated that the Committee was aware that the proposed alignment is in violation of the enrollment concept but felt that there was no other choice because of the more important “sister school” concept.

2008-2009: Hilliard Bradley & Olentangy Orange join league. League switches from 5 divisions to 4 divisions. League abandons rule against sister schools in same division. (hence, schools from same district could be placed in same division.)
