Per the official press release from the GCC:

“With the passage of a resolution at their most recent Board of Education Meeting, The Lorain City Schools have accepted an invitation to join the Greater Cleveland Conference (GCC). The Titans will begin competition in the GCC starting in the 2025-2026 school year.”

From Brian Koury, Athletic Director at Lorain High School: “Lorain is very excited for this new opportunity. Most of the existing GCC schools were in Lake Erie League back when we originally joined, and we have competed against all of the schools in the GCC in non-league play in recent years so there is definitely a familiarity. This is going to be exciting for Lorain sports.”

From Jeff Cassella, Athletic Director at Mentor High School, current GCC President: “We are very happy that Lorain has accepted our invitation to join the Greater Cleveland Conference and
look forward to what they will bring in both athletic competitions and district wide opportunities in the coming years. Lorain has a strong tradition and this partnership will strengthen our
conference for years to come.”
