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 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.
