The Monroe-Vernon Conference is a former high school athletic conference in Wisconsin with its members concentrated in the southwestern part of the state. Operational from 1928-1958, all of its member schools belonged to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.
History
The Monroe-Vernon Conference was formed in 1928 by six small high schools in Monroe and Vernon Counties in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin: Cashton, Kendall, Norwalk, Ontario, Westby and Wilton. The membership roster stayed remarkably stable during the conference's history, the only change occurred in 1941 when Westby, the largest school in the conference, left to join the new West Central Conference. The remaining five schools continued competition until 1958, when the schools in the Monroe-Vernon Conference merged with the five schools of the Juneau County League (Elroy, Hillsboro, New Lisbon, Westby and Wonewoc) to form the Scenic Central Conference and ensure future athletic competition for its members.
