# Inter-High League

The Inter-High League (also known as The Worcester Inter-High League or Worcester League)is a High School athletic conference located in District 2 of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association. The league is made up of six public high schools all located in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Claremont Academy and University Park Campus School are too small to field team in most sports, and students instead participate in Co-Op teams with other schools in the league.

## History

The conference was founded circa 1936 by schools North High, South High, Worcester Classical, and Worcester Commerce. Being a league specifically catered to the public schools within the city of Worcester, not much changed until Worcester Classical and Worcester Commerce shut down in the sixties; which in turn brought in the two schools that replaced them. Burncoat High joined the year it was founded in 1964, and Doherty High did the same in 1966. Worcester Technical High School (then known as Worcester Trade) had been around longer than the league's existence, but it wasn't until around 1974 that they finally joined the Inter-High.
Only two years later, a new conference was formed called the Colonial Athletic League; a conference specifically for the vocational schools in central Massachusetts. In 1977, Worcester Tech joined the Colonial but did so without leaving the Inter High, allowing them to play league games in two conferences and compete for two league titles. Worcester Tech competed like this until at least 2011, where they became members of only the Colonial Athletic.

## State Championships

This is a list of MIAA State championships won by schools while a part of the Inter-High league

### Football

Note: From 1972 to 2012, football state championships were separated by region, so there would be multiple champions from each division. From 1972 to 1977 and from 1997 to 2008, it was split between Eastern Mass and Central/Western Mass and there would be two champions in each division. From 1978 to 1996 and from 2009 to 2012 Central and Western Mass split so there would be three champions in each division. In 2013 everything was combined and therefore only allowed one state champion per division.
