Wisconsin Little Ten Conference

The Wisconsin Little Ten Conference is a former high school athletic conference with its membership based in southeastern Wisconsin. It existed from 1970 to 2017 and all member schools were affiliated with the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.

History

The Wisconsin Little Ten Conference was founded in 1970 after the breakup of the original Little Ten Conference. All six members of the Southern Little Ten (Beaver Dam, Hartford Union, Oconomowoc, Watertown, West Bend East and West Bend West) joined with Waupun (the largest school in the Northern Little Ten) to form its initial membership roster. Wisconsin Lutheran High School in Milwaukee joined the Wisconsin Little Ten in 1974 after leaving the Midwest Prep Conference, bringing membership to eight schools. They were the only private high school in the conference during its history and were members of the Wisconsin Independent Schools Athletic Association prior to its merger with the WIAA in 2000.

The Wisconsin Little Ten's membership roster was remarkably stable over the course of its history. Waupun, historically the smallest school in the conference, left to join the East Central Conference as a football-only member in 1995 and were accepted to full membership in the East Central Flyway Conference in 2004. Slinger became members of the Little Ten Conference in 2006 after they were displaced from the Parkland Conference after its ending. The conference was realigned out of existence in 2017, and all members were dispersed to existing conferences. Four schools (Hartford Union, Slinger, West Bend East and West Bend West) became members of the North Shore Conference, two schools (Beaver Dam and Watertown) joined the Badger Conference, Oconomowoc was accepted into the Classic 8 Conference and Wisconsin Lutheran entered the Woodland Conference.
