The Midwest Athletic Conference is a high school athletic conference in northwestern Indiana, which has existed in two different incarnations, with a third planned to form in 2018. The original conference began in 1932, consisting of schools that were larger than most of their counterparts in their local county leagues. The schools were based in Benton, Fountain, Jasper, Newton, Tippecanoe, Warren, and White counties. The forming of the Kankakee Valley Conference the next year caused a slight fluctuation over the next couple of years, as schools realigned themselves within the two leagues, with some schools claiming dual membership. The league folded in 1947, as size disparities and willingness to sponsor some sports led to schools going their separate ways.
The Hoosier Athletic Conference is a ten-member IHSAA-Sanctioned conference located within Benton, Cass, Hamilton, Howard, Jasper, Tippecanoe, Tipton and White counties. The conference first began in 1947, and has been in constant competition except for the 1997–98 school year, when membership dropped to three schools. The conference added four schools from the folding Mid-Indiana Conference in 2015. Lewis Cass exited the conference in 2023 and Logansport was added as the replacement starting in 2024.
The North Central Conference is an IHSAA-sanctioned athletic conference consisting of ten large high schools in Cass, Delaware, Grant, Howard, Madison, Marion, Tippecanoe, and Wayne Counties across Central and North Central Indiana. Most of these schools are in 35,000+ population towns like Anderson, Marion, Kokomo, Lafayette, Muncie, and Richmond. Several of the nation's largest gymnasiums belong to members of this conference.

The Southeastern Indiana Conference was an IHSAA-sanctioned conference that existed from 1930 to 1958.
The Western Indiana Small High School Conference was a short-lived IHSAA-sanctioned conference that was formed in 1957. The conference was made up of high schools with less than 100 students in Benton and White counties. The conference only lasted four years, as all but one of the schools consolidated into larger schools.
The Dixie Athletic Conference was a short-lived IHSAA-sanctioned conference in Southern Indiana. The conference was formed in 1961 by smaller, far-flung schools. In 1965, left with only four schools, it merged with the Southern Monon Conference to form the Dixie-Monon Conference.
The Tippecanoe Valley Athletic Conference was an IHSAA-sanctioned small-school conference in Fulton and Pulaski counties in northern Indiana. The conference formed as the Pulaski County Conference in 1919, as all of the county schools outside of Winamac organized together.
The Mid-Central Conference was a short-lived IHSAA-sanctioned conference based in Northwest-Central Indiana. Formed in 1966, and based in Boone, Carroll, Clinton, and Tippecanoe counties, the conference was hit hard by the consolidation of smaller Tippecanoe County schools into Harrison and McCutcheon high schools. The consolidation of the latter left the conference with three schools, effectively ending it. The same three schools would form the Hoosier Heartland Conference 15 years later, which is another small-school conference with a similar geographic footprint.
There were numerous conferences within the IHSAA that were made up of schools based entirely in one county. Many of these "County Conferences" also contained schools from neighboring counties that were either geographically closer or smaller than the other schools in their home county. These conferences would fold when schools would consolidate and seek out other, more expansive conferences that included similar-sized schools. The starting date of many of these conferences is hard to confirm, so the listing for many of these leagues uses the earliest date that can be confirmed.
The State Corner Conference was an IHSAA-sanctioned conference located in far Northeast Indiana. The conference started in 1935 competing in basketball, football, and track. The league survived a major shakeup in 1941 as half of the original league left to return to their previous conferences, being replaced by smaller schools in the footprint and dropping football. Because of the league's limited offerings, the schools would also compete within their county-based leagues. The league would fold in 1967, as consolidation had whittled the league to three schools.
