The Peninsula Conference is a former high school athletic conference with its membership concentrated in northeastern Wisconsin. It was founded in 1933 and disbanded in 1970, and all public school members belonged to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.
History
[edit | edit source]Lua error in Module:OSM_Location_map at line 456: bad argument #1 to 'abs' (number expected, got nil). The Peninsula Conference was formed in 1933 by six small high schools in northeastern Wisconsin: Brussels, Casco, Gibraltar, Luxemburg, Mishicot and Sevastopol.[1] It was named the Peninsula Conference because its six members were located in or near the Door Peninsula, and the conference featured schools from Door, Kewaunee and Manitowoc Counties. Because of its geography and lack of proximity to similarly-sized schools, conference membership remained relatively stable over the course of its history. In 1962, Brussels High School was replaced by Southern Door High School due to the consolidation of local school districts.[2][3] Consolidation claimed another member of the conference in 1967 when Luxemburg and Casco merged to form Luxemburg-Casco High School.[4] To keep membership at six schools, the Peninsula Conference added Manitowoc Lutheran, who were former members of the Kettle Moraine Conference.[5] The Peninsula Conference would be realigned out of existence in 1970, as part of a larger realignment of high school conferences in northeastern Wisconsin.[6] Three of the outgoing schools (Gibraltar, Manitowoc Lutheran and Sevastopol) formed the nucleus of the new Bay-Lakes Conference,[7] two schools (Luxemburg-Casco and Southern Door) joined the new Packerland Conference[8] and Mishicot became a charter member of the Olympian Conference.[9]
