The Eastern Connecticut Conference (also known as the ECC) serves high schools in Windham County and New London County.

The four large schools, Ledyard, New London, Fitch and East Lyme announced that they would be leaving the ECC and forming a new conference named the Southeastern Connecticut Athletic Conference. During that same time five other schools, Bacon Academy, Waterford, Montville, Wheeler and Stonington applied to join the shoreline conference.
