# Kettle Moraine Conference

The Kettle Moraine Conference is a former high school athletic conference with its membership concentrated in Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine region. It existed from 1928 to 1963 and all member schools were affiliated with the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.

## History
### Founding and Formative Years (1928-1957)

The Kettle Moraine Conference was formed in 1928 by five small high schools in Sheboygan and Ozaukee Counties: Grafton, Howards Grove, Oostburg, Random Lake and Waldo. Glenbeulah High School would join in 1929 from the Fox Valley Tri-County League, and Howards Grove would leave the conference a year later. Cedar Grove joined the Kettle Moraine Conference in 1931, bringing conference membership to six schools. It would remain at six when Howards Grove made their return to the Kettle Moraine Conference in 1934, replacing Glenbeulah, who exited the conference that year. Glenbeulah would return in 1939, and the conference would continue as a seven-member circuit for fifteen years. Stockbridge High School joined in 1954, bringing membership to its highest total of eight schools.

### Decline and Dissolution (1957-1963)

In 1957, the Kettle Moraine Conference lost Glenbeulah after their school district consolidated with Elkhart Lake, with the new Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah High School remaining in the Eastern Wisconsin Conference. Grafton would leave the next year to join the new Scenic Moraine Conference, decreasing membership to six schools. In 1960, Oostburg left to join the Eastern Wisconsin Conference and Random Lake joined the Scenic Moraine Conference. The Kettle Moraine Conference would play for two seasons as a four-member loop before Waldo High School closed after consolidation with Sheboygan Falls in 1962. Down to only three members, the conference would compete for one more season before disbanding in 1963. Two of the three remaining schools (Cedar Grove and Howards Grove) would join the Eastern Wisconsin Conference, and Stockbridge would compete independent of conference affiliation before joining the Bay-Lakes Conference in 1970.
