Northeastern participates in the Tri-Eastern Conference of which it has been a member since 1974. Previously, it was a member of the Mid-Eastern Conference from 1967 to 1974. NHS enjoys a fierce conference rivalry with three other Wayne County schools (Centerville, Hagerstown and Lincoln). In the 2013–2014 season, the Knights won their first boys' basketball conference title since 1985-86 and also their first ever boys' basketball sectional title.

NHS previously held the "longest high school football losing streak in Indiana history", losing 46 games consecutively from 1985 to 1990.[1]
