The All-American Conference (AAC) proudly announces
that the Louisville City School District has been accepted as the league's newest member.

The Louisville Leopards officially joined the OHSAA-sanctioned conference on July 23, 2025, joining a competitive field of respected member schools across Northeast Ohio. Full AAC Conference competition will begin with all sports except football in the Fall season of 2026.

The AAC supports student-athletes across multiple sports and promotes sportsmanship, competition, and academic excellence. Member districts include Austintown Fitch, Boardman, Canfield, Howland, and Warren G. Harding.

"We’re thrilled to welcome Louisville to the AAC family," said AAC League Commissioner James DeToro. "Their athletic tradition, community support, and competitive spirit make them a perfect fit. We’re excited for the energy and excellence they’ll bring to the league."
Louisville brings a strong athletic history and a commitment to excellence in both academics and extracurricular activities. The move offers the Leopards the opportunity to compete in a well-established conference with schools of similar size and values.


"Joining the All-American Conference is a great step forward for our district and
student-athletes," said Michele Shaffer, Superintendent of Louisville City Schools. "We are excited for the new rivalries, friendships, and opportunities this move will bring for our entire school community."
