Mississippi Valley Conference (Est. 1971)


History of the MVC

          Civic Memorial is a Charter member of the Mississippi Valley Conference. The

MVC was formed in 1971 and has been one of the most stable conferences in

Illinois high school athletics. The Mississippi Valley Conference was initially

formed by Civic Memorial, Highland, Jersey Community, Mascoutah, O’Fallon,

Roxana, Triad, and East Alton-Wood River High Schools.

          While most conferences in Illinois have gone through many changes in

membership, with some conferences expanding while others have disappeared

over the years, the MVC has been a beacon of stability. O’Fallon withdrew in 1993

due to a significantly increasing student enrollment and joined the South Seven

Conference and ultimately ended up as members of the Southwestern Conference.

Triad left the MVC in 1979, but rejoined in 1993. Roxana and East Alton-Wood

River withdrew from the Mississippi Valley in 1998 due to decreasing enrollment

and joined the South Central Conference, where Roxana remains, while EAWR is

now a member of the Prairie State Conference. Waterloo joined the MVC in 1998

to take the place of Roxana and East Alton-Wood River.

          The MVC currently has six schools, of which five are Charter members. During

the 40+ year history of the league, there has only been three instances of schools

entering or leaving the conference. This is remarkable stability and something of

​which the MVC and its member schools are extremely proud.
