History

The Central Lakeshore Conference was formed in 1969 by seven small high schools in Sheboygan and Ozaukee Counties in east central Wisconsin. [1] Four members were previously in the Eastern Wisconsin Conference (Cedar Grove, Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah, Kohler and Oostburg), two entered from the disbanded Kettle Moraine Conference (Howards Grove and Ozaukee) and Random Lake joined after leaving the Scenic Moraine Conference. The recently opened John F. Kennedy Prep in St. Nazianz joined a year later, [2] but their stay in the conference was short-lived. The Catholic high school was removed from the Central Lakeshore Conference in 1973 because of violations against rules on student transfers. [3] The Central Lakeshore Conference's membership roster would remain relatively stable for a quarter century with the only change being a short stint in the conference for Stockbridge from 1979 [4] to 1981. [5] In 1999, two private high schools in Sheboygan (Sheboygan Christian and Sheboygan Lutheran) would join as part of the WIAA/WISAA merger. [6] Stockbridge rejoined the Central Lakeshore in 2007 for the final eight years of the conference's run. [7] In 2015, all members of the Central Lakeshore Conference with the exception of Stockbridge joined with five members of the Olympian Conference (Hilbert, Manitowoc Lutheran, Mishicot, Reedsville and St. Mary Catholic in Neenah) to form the fourteen-member Big East Conference.
