DuPage Valley Conference Data Established 1967 Members 8 Sports fielded 22 (11 boys', 11 girls') Activities 4 Region Chicagoland The DuPage Valley Conference (DVC) is an organization of eight high schools in northeastern Illinois, representing seven communities in Chicago's suburbs. These high schools are all members of the Illinois High School Association. The Conference, organized in 1967, exists primarily for inter-school athletic competition in 21 sports. There are also four non-athletic competitions in which DVC schools participate: Chess, Math competitions, Scholastic Bowl and Speech.
Seven of the current high schools are within DuPage County, Illinois, and the eighth lies within Kane County, Illinois. The conference derives its name from the DuPage River, which flows through two of the seven represented communities (although students from towns on the DuPage River do attend more of the member schools, due to attendance boundaries).

History
While the conference has typically kept a constant membership of eight high schools, the actual membership of the Conference has changed since the founding. The conference experienced a membership change in 1983, when Glenbard East High School joined the DVC, replacing Wheaton-Warrenville High School, which had been closed due to low attendance. The next change, in 1992, occurred when Wheaton Central High School and Wheaton-Warrenville Middle School changed buildings. The high school (now in the old Wheaton-Warrenville building) became Wheaton-Warrenville South High School in order to distinguish it from the closed Wheaton-Warrenville; the middle school (in the old Wheaton Central building from 1992-2009) became Hubble Middle School. After the 1996 school year, Glenbard South High School left the DVC, citing an inability to be competitive with the larger schools in the league (despite winning a share of the conference title in softball in their final year in the conference). The DuPage Valley operated for one year with only seven schools before admitting West Aurora High School in Aurora, Illinois, the first DVC school outside DuPage County.
