History

The conference started in 2000, as the West division of the Olympic Conference (Brownsburg, Hamilton Southeastern, Harrison, McCutcheon, and Noblesville) joined with two schools from the folding Rangeline Conference (Westfield and Zionsville) and one from the Mid-State Conference (Avon). Lafayette Jeff joined in 2004 from the North Central Conference, and Fishers joined upon reopening in 2006.

In December 2012, the Indianapolis-area schools met and voted to cut ties with the Tippecanoe County schools after the 2013-14 school year due to transportation costs, travel time, differences in school size and competitive balance. The Lafayette area schools joined the North Central Conference. [1]

In March 2017, the conference schools met to decide on letting an eighth member into the conference, Franklin Central. On March 15, 2017 the HCC decided to admit the Franklin Central Flashes into the HCC beginning the 2018-2019 school year.
