History

The Scenic Moraine Conference was formed in 1958 by six high schools located in Washington and Fond du Lac Counties [1] Campbellsport, Germantown, Grafton, Kewaskum, North Fond du Lac and Slinger. Pewaukee joined in 1959 [2] [3] , and Random Lake joined as a full member in 1960 [4] , bringing conference membership to eight schools. The conference remained at eight members for its entire existence, with Arrowhead [5] replacing Random Lake [6] [7] in 1969 and Kettle Moraine [8] and Mayville [9] replacing Campbellsport and North Fond du Lac in 1970 [10] . This alignment remained for the rest of the conference's history, but large gulfs were developing between member school districts in enrollment levels [11] [12] , and by the mid-1970s it became clear that realignment was imminent [13] [14] . In 1980, the conference was realigned out of existence [15] , as three schools each were moved to the Braveland Conference (Arrowhead [16] , Germantown [17] and Grafton [18] ) and Parkland Conference [19] (Kettle Moraine, Pewaukee and Slinger). The other two schools, Kewaskum and Mayville, moved to the Eastern Wisconsin [20] [21] and Flyway [22] [23] conferences, respectively.
