Membership Timeline
The Central-C Conference is a former high school athletic conference with its membership concentrated in central Wisconsin. All public school members belonged to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, and the only private school member was affiliated with the Wisconsin Catholic Interscholastic Athletic Association. The conference was operational from 1962 to 1970.
The Central-C Conference was formed in 1962 by eight small- to medium-sized public high schools and one private Catholic high school in central Wisconsin. Five schools were former members of the Central Lakes Conference (Almond, Necedah, Oxford, Port Edwards and Wild Rose), three belonged to the 7-C Conference (Adams-Friendship, Tri-County and Westfield) and one was formerly in the Central Wisconsin Catholic Conference (Madonna). [1] Almost immediately, the conferene began to lose members to rural school district consolidation and closings. The first such change occurred in 1963, when Oxford was closed [2] and its students were redistricted to Westfield. In 1966, conference membership was cut in half due to the closing of Madonna High School [3] and the defection of three schools (Adams-Friendship, Tri-County and Westfield) to the newly formed Vacationland Conference. [4] The Central-C Conference was disbanded in 1970, with all four of its members (Almond, Necedah, Port Edwards and Wild Rose) joining with former members of two other dissolved conferences (the Vacationland Conference and Wolf River Valley Conference) to form the Central State Conference.
