Overview
Mission
To serve and unite local schools and communities through providing academic and athletic competition between the member schools.
What it reported doing in 2024
Members of the eastern Pennsylvania conference are committed to maximizing instructional time, promoting good sportsmanship and promoting equal and fair competition for all member schools. The activities promote the organization's charitable and educational mission by allowing for the athletic and co-curricular events between the member schools that are a compliment to the member school's academic program. By participating in the athletic and co-curricular events, it allows the student participants to demonstrate the ability to manage academics with additional responsibilities, an important quality in a successful student. This balance illustrates student's self-discipline, social involvement, and general well-roundedness. The athletic and co-curricular activities are fundamentally designed to help students develop stronger personal and interpersonal skills and talents. When students participate in group competitions and activities, they learn skills that apply to opportunities both on and off the playing field. Through competition, students establish a solid work ethic that values practice and rewards determination. Students enhance skills in self-reliance and team interaction, and develop new structures of self motivation, discipline, and personal responsibility. Participation in athletic and other activities improves students educational attainment and skills development including empowerment, leadership and self-esteem contributing to their overall well-being and future prospects.
Operating model

The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
