This decision was not made lightly, and we sincerely appreciate the history and tradition we have shared with fellow conference schools.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Concordia will remain a committed member of the Summit Athletic Conference through the 2026-27 school year. School leaders emphasized the transition to the ACAC will allow Concordia to maintain many longstanding Fort Wayne-area rivalries through future nonconference competition while creating opportunities to build new relationships within the conference.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are thankful for the opportunity to become part of the ACAC and are excited about this new chapter in the history of Concordia athletics,&#8221; school leaders said. &#8220;This move aligns with our mission of developing student-athletes who compete with excellence, integrity and faith, and we look forward to contributing positively to the conference while continuing to serve our students and school community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Concordia Lutheran High School extends its sincere appreciation to the Summit Athletic Conference for many years of meaningful competition, strong relationships and shared experiences, and wishes all member schools continued success both academically and athletically.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Concordia Lutheran High School<\/strong><br \/>\nConcordia Lutheran High School, located at 1601 St. Joe River Drive in Fort Wayne, Ind., was founded in 1935 as a private, co-educational Lutheran high school open to students of all faiths and backgrounds.
