History
The conference was part of an overall southeastern Wisconsin conference realignment plan in 2017. The WIAA-approved changes for the 2017–18 school year added Germantown High School and Wauwatosa West High School and sent West Allis Central High School to the Woodland Conference. The move was hailed by locals as a decision that increased competition in a smaller geographical area.
