The Scenic Moraine Conference is a former high school athletic conference in Wisconsin, operating from 1958 to 1980 with its membership concentrated in the Kettle Moraine region.
The Scenic Moraine Conference was formed in 1958 by six high schools located in Washington, Fond du Lac and Ozaukee Counties: [1] Campbellsport, Germantown, Grafton, Kewaskum, North Fond du Lac and Slinger. At the time of the conference's formation, there was already a high school athletic conference based in Sheboygan County called the Kettle Moraine Conference, and the Scenic Moraine name was chosen to avoid confusion between the two leagues. Pewaukee joined the Scenic Moraine in 1959, [2] [3] and Random Lake joined as a full member in 1960, [4] bringing conference membership to eight schools.
The Scenic Moraine Conference remained an eight-member loop for its entire existence. Arrowhead [5] joined from the Southeastern Badger Conference in 1969, replacing Random Lake [6] [7] after they left to join the new Central Lakeshore Conference. The next year, Kettle Moraine [8] and Mayville [9] replaced Campbellsport and North Fond du Lac when they became charter members of the Flyway Conference. [10] The Scenic Moraine's membership roster remained unchanged for the rest of the conference's history, but large gulfs were developing between member school districts in enrollment levels [11] [12] which led to discussions on realignment between conferences in southeastern Wisconsin in the mid-1970s. [13] [14] The Scenic Moraine Conference was one of two conferences dissolved in 1980, [15] along with the South Shore Conference. Three schools each were dispersed 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.
