History

The Lake City Conference was formed in 2021 by ten private and charter schools in the Milwaukee metropolitan area. Seven of these schools were located in Milwaukee (Cristo Rey Jesuit, Early View Academy, Eastbrook Academy, Salam, St. Anthony, St. Augustine Prep and Tenor/Veritas) and three are located outside of the city (Chesterton Academy in Menomonee Falls, Trinity Academy in Pewaukee and University Lake School in Hartland). [1] [2] [3] Seven of the ten original members were formerly affiliated with the Indian Trails Conference, another conference of mostly private schools in southeastern Wisconsin. Due to the small size of some of the member schools, there are several schools that have cooperative agreements for interscholastic athletics.

The Lake City Conference has grown at a steady pace since it was inaugurated. St. Joan Antida, an all-girls high school on the south side of Milwaukee, joined the Lake City Conference after its first season of competition. [4] 2023 brought two new members to the Lake City Conference: Chesterton Academy and Hmong American Peace Academy, both located in Milwaukee. [5] [6] The next year, two schools exited the conference: Early View Academy [7] (who rejoined the Indian Trails Conference) and Augustine Prep [8] (now competing as an independent). In 2025, Fuller Collegiate Academy, a charter school in Milwaukee, joined the Lake City Conference as its newest member. [9]
