District 11 (often referenced with the Roman Numerals District XI) of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) is an interscholastic athletic association in eastern Pennsylvania.

District 11 is one of the PIAA's 12 districts and comprises high schools mostly within the Lehigh Valley and a few surrounding counties, many of which competed in the Lehigh Valley Conference before that conference was merged into District XI.

District XI is broadly considered one of the most competitive high school athletic divisions in the nation with many of its athletes going on to compete in the Olympics and professional sports, including the MLB, NBA, and NFL. District 11 owns many state records for various athletic championships and milestones.

Member schools are categorized by enrollment into classifications, differing in each of the various sports, including: A, AA, AAA, AAAA, AAAAA, and AAAAAA.

Member schools

The league is made up of 53 public schools and private schools located in Lehigh, Carbon, Northampton, Schuylkill, Monroe, and parts of Pike and Bucks counties.[1]
