The Tri-County Conference (TCC) is an athletic conference consisting of both public and private high schools located in Camden County, Cape May County, Cumberland County, Gloucester County and Salem County, New Jersey. The Tri-County Conference operates under the aegis of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.
History
The conference was first established in 1928, with three divisions: Royal, Diamond, and Classic. A fourth division, Liberty, was added in 2018 to close the student disparity gap and create better competition in each division. The new division applies to all sports except Winter Track, Wrestling, Swimming, and Girls Cross-Country.
Timber Creek Regional High School announced in 2018 that they would leave the Olympic Conference and join the Tri-County Conference for the 2020-21 school year, which would have the benefit of having all three schools in the Black Horse Pike District competing in the same athletic conference.[1]
Gloucester City Junior-Senior High School, one of the schools that had been part of the conference since its inception, left the Tri-County Conference for the Colonial Conference. The school was replaced by Overbrook High School, which returned to the Tri-County Conference after being a member of the Colonial Conference from 2008 to 2020.[2]
Hammonton High School had been a member of the Tri-County Conference from 2014 to 2020, before returning to the Cape-Atlantic League for the 2020-21 school year.[3]
Washington Township High School, alongside the Salem County Career and Technical High School, announced in 2021 that they would leave the Olympic Conference and join the Tri-County Conference for the 2022-23 school year.[4]
