The Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) is a sports league that includes 39 public and private high schools from Morris County, Sussex County and Warren County, New Jersey, that operates under the auspices of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.[1]
The conference was formed in 2009 by the NJSIAA as part of a major statewide reorganization of athletic leagues and included schools that had previously been members of the Sussex County Interscholastic League as well as Morris County schools that had been part of the Colonial Hills Conference, Iron Hills Conference, and the Northern Hills Conference. Two northern Warren County schools opted to leave the Skyland Conference to join the NJAC; Hackettstown joined when the conference formed,[2] while North Warren officially became a member in the fall of 2012.[3]
The NJAC sponsors competition in most high school sports, but not in football. The conference originally had football divisions, but merged with three other leagues in 2016 to form the North Jersey Super Football Conference (now simply known as the Super Football Conference).[4]
