The Ohio Capital Conference is a high school athletic conference located in Central Ohio. It comprises 32 public high schools located primarily in suburban Columbus, Ohio, encompassing Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Licking, Knox, and Union counties. The league is geographically divided between three divisions of eight teams each (Ohio, Central, and Cardinal). The remaining eight schools make up "small school" division, known as the Capital. Twenty-six schools compete in the OHSAA's Division I classification for football while six schools compete in Division II. All conference members compete in the Central District postseason tournaments prior to the regional and state tournaments.
Academically, 27 of the 32 members were rated 'Excellent' by the Ohio Department of Education during the 2010-2011 school year. Two were rated 'Effective' and three were classified under 'Continuous Improvement'.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio, capital and/or conference:
“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The capital is become an overgrown monster; which like a dropsical head, will in time leave the body and extremities without nourishment and support.”
—Tobias Smollett (1721–1771)
“The peace conference must not adjourn without the establishment of some ordered system of international government, backed by power enough to give authority to its decrees. ... Unless a league something like this results at our peace conference, we shall merely drop back into armed hostility and international anarchy. The war will have been fought in vain ...”
—Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)
