Location of Current Parkland Football Conference Members
The Parkland Football Conference was founded in February 2019, when the WIAA and the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association released a full realignment package for Wisconsin's high school football conferences to be reviewed on a two-year cycle.[1] An eight-member conference featuring Catholic Memorial in Waukesha, Milwaukee Lutheran, New Berlin Eisenhower, New Berlin West, Pewaukee, Pius XI in Milwaukee, Wauwatosa East and Wauwatosa West was unveiled as part of this realignment.[2] This conference was originally referred to as the Woodland West in preseason realignment materials, as five of the original members were part of the Woodland Conference for all other sports. Instead, it was renamed the Parkland Football Conference after the original Wisconsin high school athletic conference that competed from 1963 to 2006.[3] Membership remained intact for the first four seasons of play before three schools left the conference: Milwaukee Lutheran fully aligned with the Woodland Conference, Pewaukee became football-only members of the Classic 8 Conference and Pius XI joined the Midwest Classic Conference in the large-schools division. Two former Classic 8 members (Waukesha North and Waukesha South) along with West Allis Central (formerly of the Greater Metro Conference) replaced the three outgoing members.[4] For the 2026-2027 cycle, West Allis Central will be exiting to join the Woodland Conference, giving the Parkland Conference seven football members. The Parkland and Woodland Conferences will be entering into a scheduling partnership during this period with one interlocking game per member school that counts in their respective conference standings.[5]
