The FRCC was formed in 2007 when Ashwaubenon, Bay Port, De Pere and Pulaski left the Bay Conference and joined up with a stronger eight team Fox River Valley Conference. This was mainly done to level the playing field as the four Bay Schools were larger than most of the other Bay Schools. In 2011, Green Bay West requested to leave the FRCC and Green Bay East asked to leave the conference also. Both Green Bay East and West have stated they have not been able to compete in the FRCC. In January 2014, the WIAA approved a Realignment plan that would put Green Bay West and Green Bay East out of the FRCC and into the Bay Conference. This took effect for the 2015–16 school year. [2] Another football-only realignment plan surfaced in 2018; West De Pere, Menasha, Green Bay East and Green Bay West would join the conference, which would be split into two divisions. The original plan called for Preble, Bay Port, Green Bay East, Green Bay Southwest, Pulaski, Ashwaubenon and Green Bay West in one and Sheboygan North, Sheboygan South, Manitowoc, De Pere, Menasha, West De Pere and Notre Dame in the other. A revised proposal came out in February 2019, this one including Preble, De Pere, Bay Port, Green Bay Southwest, Pulaski, West De Pere and Ashwaubenon in one and Sheboygan North, Sheboygan South, Manitowoc, Menasha, Notre Dame, Green Bay East and Green Bay West in the other. [3] The plan was approved in April 2019 to take effect for the 2020–2021 school year. [4]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all full members of the FRCC besides Notre Dame joined with some teams from the Fox Valley Association and Wisconsin Valley Conference to form the 20-team Fox Valley Classic Conference football conference, which will play in spring 2021. [5]
Nearby West De Pere High School had started to petition joining the FRCC as early as 2016, After a few denials, in December 2023 West De Pere had made a formal move once again to move into the FRCC this time seeking unanimous support. A Final vote was approved and West De Pere will join in 2025. Another move in the latest rounds will see the Exit of Sheboygan South which will be moved to a To be named conference as part of the Dissolvement of the East Central Conference and Restructure of the North Shore [6]
From 2007 to 2015, the Conference was divided into East and West divisions based on which side of the Fox River the school was on. For football, the divisions changed based on standings from the previous season. With Green Bay East and Green Bay West leaving at the end of 2015, the FRCC eliminated the divisions and teams played all the others in a season.
